GEARs Scheduled Rides for the week of July 22nd & Beyond!
Larry Diffie
Hello GEARs Group,
Yesterday saw temps get up to 94, yet we had 19 Riders head south, some south to Drain, but both groups felt the need to check out Wolf Creek (104 or 71 miles) on the way back. Then there were 17 Riders who headed for Camas Bakery (36 miles).
Adventures Rides and tried and true Rides – both are great and allow the flexibility to meet the needs of almost all our Riders! Way To Go Ride Leaders and being there to Lead for us!
It looks to be slightly cooler this coming week! This Phormer Phoenician actually dripped sweat on a Ride this past week – I truly do not do that as much Riding in the Eugene area as I did there - imagine that (just because it's been 110+ there). I could feel some of those toxins depart – I kept telling myself, keep the tires Rolling you will cool down, and I did.
Here are our Scheduled Rides and Events for this coming week & Beyond:
Time for a GREAT GEARs GATHERING!! I'll move into the Beyond sharing first!
Kayna has been
contacted by the Eugene Emeralds – they are looking to have a “GEARs Night” at
one of their remaining home games. There
would still be a cost involved, but a discounted price. Family members would be welcome. They are hoping to have a Bike Valet for
us. We would be featured on their video board
during the middle of the 5th inning.
And they would like someone from GEARs to throw out a Ceremonial First
Pitch! Details are still being worked
out; however, we are looking at a Sunday, August 18th date, with the
game start time of 5:05 p.m. Those
interested would meet at Alton Baker Park and Ride over. (Not my Beautiful Wife though, she is not a
Rider; however, she loves that I love GEARs and is ready to support this event)!
We would have a sign up, as well as a way or directions of how to pay for tickets. We are hoping to have a minimum of 25 Riders/Family Members attend. As details are being worked out, please let Kentucky Bob or me or Kayna know if you are interested so we can start getting a count idea. What a Fun Club Event! Thanks, Eugene Emeralds, for thinking about us!
More Beyond: bRamble! bRamble! bRamble! bRamble! It’s coming! Volunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers! They are still needed and hoped for! = August 25th.
The bRamble Volunteer Bike Rides will be on Saturday, August 17th with an earlier than normal start time – stay tuned!
