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.

| 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!
