Bicycle BBQ report.

Saturday afternoon I hosted a little BBQ via the Nevada Bicycle Coalition, in support of complete street designs on Keystone Ave.  We had a decent turn out with 15 or so people making an appearance.  Given the fact that we had free beer on tap, 3 dutch ovens cooking, and the grill going, everyone ended up staying all the way until about 5pm.  It looked a little something like this.

While bikey stuff was discussed, we mostly just had a good time getting to know one another.  So if you just need an excuse to ride your bike and enjoy good food and beer, think about joining us in the future.  I'm pretty sure we'll be making this a monthly thing this summer.

Bicycle BBQ!

Ok, I may be insane for posting this on the open internet.....but here goes.  We're throwing a Bicycle BBQ to support bike lanes and complete streets on Keystone Ave. at my house....tomorrow....

If you read this blog even semi-regularly you are invited.  So here's the details.

Saturday 21st of June (tomorrow).
12-5 pm
 (just off Keystone/Coleman Ave.)
Bring a side dish to pass
Biking to the BBQ is optional but encouraged.

Scott will be Dutch oven cooking and we'll have a grill going with burgers, hotdogs, etc.  I'll have a couple kegs of beer available.

Be ready to talk about bikes!!

 

Cycle Oregon Day 4 - Rest Day!

Rest day.....meaning you could opt for an 80 mile ride (out and back) or turn around at any point and set the ride to the distance you wanted....or you could hang out at camp all day!

We opted for a modified route heading out the "planned" path about 4-5 miles and then doubling back past the turn off for our city / camp.

Motivational signs found along the route!

Mandatory photo op!

The turn off to camp.

The reason for bypassing the turn off was a tiny little hotel / bed and breakfast called the Diamond Motel was hosting a BBQ lunch (that ended up running from 10am to 8 pm).  The line for food never ceased the entire 10 hours!

Bacon wrapped Corn on the Cob....say no more!

The Cowboy Chefs in action

After food and beer....this was the plan for the day!

It's a little hard to read...but the population in Diamond is normally 5, yep....5.  They probably served about 1500 people at the BBQ.

Our "route" gave us about 22 miles today.  However, there were alternate means of transportation between camp and the BBQ!

This was the finish entrance from the day before.  Somehow riding down a shady glen lined with victory banners just never got old.  P.S.  When we finished yesterday they had Popsicle waiting for us.  Very nice on a 90 degree day!

Sunset and home for the night!
