[OHPV-list] Ride schedule, was Re: Bridge of the Gods Ride?

[Michael.Wolfe@kp.org]

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on that, actually.  I *really* do want to 
do that, but I'm going rafting on the John Day with my dad that weekend, 
so I'll miss the first one.  The second one is the day after StP.  So I'll 
be there if they'll have me, but I might not be at my best.  But if 
they'll let me in to that, then wild horses won't keep me from the 
Timberline edition in September.

It looks like they'll let anyone in, the categories are just for OBRA 
points purposes.

I dunno-  they're not listed on their webpage. Here it is:
http://www.consystency.net/obra/ouch/

I bet if you could get a couple people together they might add a category.
