On Thursday, August 8,
I've ridden with Shawn on his Country Bike in the City rides in Portland.
Always a good time. Never technical. Not sure what his Vancouver route is
like, but he's a good ride leader and route scouter. The raciest of bikes

you guys didn't disappoint.
I am certainly interested in further talks of a NW vs SW event in 2014. Mt
Shasta, Modoc Plateau, or Trinity Alps might be suitable halfway type

I certainly appreciate the flatness of Portland when I'm riding with my
kids or a big load, but I often miss just stumbling upon a spectacular post
