Verboort Sausage Benefit with a drive up window for cars and bicycles.

Second option was forwarded by Tweety a couple weeks ago:  62 miles

They ask that if you are going to ride with the Oregon Randonneurs, please
register at their website, so they are expecting you and can have enough
snacks, etc.

 

Famous Quote:  "You can lead a dog to sausage, but you can't make him wolf
it down".or something like that.

OK guys & gals ...it's FREE...it's FUN...it's .

 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 quite 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.
