What can you say about Bend....well, I'd go with:  If you like good friends, bicycles, running, and beer, you're probably gonna have a good time!  And if a simple statement isn't enough, here is a picture or two for each of those topics.

| Phil's Trail Network trail head. | 
  | 
| Rolling out on Ben's Trail. | 
  | 
| Evidence it's not wise to take pictures while riding single track. | 
  | 
| Words to live by! | 
  | 
| The trail system is so large it has roundabouts for bikes and central artwork....here's Bend's infamous flaming chicken (the trail version) | 
  | 
| 20 miles of riding wasn't enough for the girls....so on Sunday it was off to the Happy Girl 1/2 marathon....the start.... | 
  | 
| ......and the finish! | 
  | 
| Once riding and running were accomplished.....it was time for beer.  And if you're in Bend you must stop by Deschutes during your beer escapades!  | 
  | 
| Eventually we moved on for alternate beers serving locations..... In this case a bike shop that serves beer and decked out custom bikepacking rides! | 
 So there's a few pics from the trip.  If you enjoy bikes, running, beer, and fun, you might just want to take a trip in the near future! 
 
Nice!! Sounds like it was a blast!
