[OHPV-list] The Verboort Sausage Populaire - November 4th

[Bacchetta_Aero@comcast.net]

I no longer get emails from the list unless I go to the archives to see what's posted, since I’m on Comcast.  Maybe this post of mine is a repeat, so don’t beat me up if it is.  I just don’t have time at the moment to go back digging through the archives.  This event sounds FUN so I thought I'd post it.  I'm going, for sure.
See you in November!  I’m leaving for big adventures in Ashland, beginning on Saturday.  Happy trails in the meantime!

 About the Verboort Sausage Populaire, from Susan France of ORRando,
as sent to the Cycle Oregon Yahoo Group list:   
 “The ride starts at the (McMenamin's) Grand Lodge in Forest Grove where you shall find ample parking. 
We traditionally have a fair size group come down from Washington who 
stay the night before at the Lodge so they don't mind us using the 
parking lot. Parking in Verboort the first Saturday in November is a 
nightmare. The ride ends in Verboort, 62 miles later, 100k, because 
the Oregon Randonneurs will sit down and eat. The Randonneurs will 
have their "sausage haulers" out which means big bike bags and maybe 
commuter baskets in which to haul their sausage back to their vehicle 
and eventually into the freezer. How far back to the start? Just 
under 2 miles and to me it seems like a slight downhill the whole 
way.

I've done the sausage ride (PWTC) that starts in Tannasborne. It's 
rather miserable to ride back to Hillsboro on a full tummy of 
sausage. At the Grand Lodge finish, if you eat/drink something like 
$7 in food or beer you can use their soaking pool for free...if 
you're too full you can pay $5 to use the pool. It's quit a deal. 

The Verboort Populaire was listed in Bicycling Magazine so we are 
getting many folks signing up that we've never had to our events. One 
is coming up from Jacksonville. We always get a crowd from Seattle.
