Wonders will never cease here in Oregon.  The weather
wizards were right!  They forecasted anywhere from 30%
to 80% chance of showers yesterday.  Depending when &
where you were, you could have been in a downpour. 
And a very nice, character building south wind for all
to enjoy.  Who says the Salem Bike Club doesn't
provide something for everyone?  Many folks also got
to practice their flat changing skills.  It kept our
SAG drivers busy.

I was there, in herdware, at the start handing out the
Road Animal Awards to those who were day of ride
registrations.  Got to meet a fellow Intel employee,
Michael Goldsmith, Richard and Nora Seton and a few
others I can't remember their names.  I heard someone
ask for Amy Reams packet but didn't see her.

We had just over 300 folks pre-register and maybe 50
or so didn't show.  Then there are those who signed up
day of ride.  About 100 folks fell into that category.


I remarked to a friend that too bad we moved the ride
to this date because we didn't want to compete with
Lance and that ride had the better weather.  He
pointed out that if we had the real good weather we
could have had the chance of having more riders than
we planned on , there would be more chance of some
folks suffering sun stroke, and everybody would have
delayed finding their winter riding clothes.  This was
also a chance to seperate the men from the boys and
women from the girls.  Now we know who will ride
during the winter and who has hung their bike up until
next April. ;o)

A good time was had by all who rode even though we
were completely soaked at the end of the day.  Thanks
to Bob for the great road markings, to Phyllis for the
food, to John, Pat, Dick, & Don for SAG support.  A
great big thanks to Scott for coordinating the ride. 
Another big thanks to his wife, Angela, for her
support too.  Thanks go to the many other folks helped
with registration setup/teardown along with the
Kiwanas Club who manned the rest stops.  

I just hope Lance doesn't take our day next year.

Tom (still feeling like a prune) Tilque
