2009 Pictures

Because there were so many pictures from the Cycling Psychos trip this year I couldn't put all of them on the blog. I posted all the ones I thought deserved to be. If you want a copy of all the pictures just contact Colleen Magleby and she will probably be more than happy to make a copy of them for you, or you can contact someone who already has a copy of the CDs. The pictures collected this year filled two CDs instead of the usual one in previous years.

The 2009 Book has also been posted. To see it or copy it to your computer just click on the link under the 2009 slide show.

Thank you to all those who took pictures this year and let me post them.

Spaghetti Dinner

Don't forget to go to The Magleby's on Wednesday for the Spaghetti Dinner at 6:30 pm. There will be a meeting after wards to talk about safety and T-shirts. The T-shirts are done and will cost $12 for all those who bought one. Just make sure you bring the money to the Dinner to be able to pick up your shirt.

There is also a cost of $8 for those who want a book after the ride is over. The book will include pictures and explanations of events that happened during the ride. You can check out the books made for previous years on the left side of the screen under each year to see if you want this years edition. See you all Wednesday night!

Portland Bike Maps

Hi Psychos!!

This is a site with street maps. The cool thing is that you can select "Show Bike Map" and you can see the bike trails and bike lanes, etc. See what you think! I'm using it to map some of our practice rides. I've attached one.

Aneroid Lake Camp Out

Tyler Risenmay is organizing a four day camping trip in August near Aneroid Lake. The hike will go from Thursday, August 20 to Monday August 24. He plans on leaving early enough Thursday morning so we can be on the trail by 10 am and get back sometime Monday night. Anyone can come, just make sure you get a hold of Tyler.

Everyone that plans on going should do some prep hikes. So far Tyler has planed two practice hikes, one July 3-4 and one August 7-8. Just get a hold of Tyler if you are interested in going on any of these hikes. His phone number is (503)630-4934 and email is tylerrisenmay@cascadeaccess.com.

I also posted some information on Facebook. To access the link just click on the "Aneroid Lake Camp Out" above or go to the Cycling Psychos Facebook page.

Mt. Tabor Bike Club

Troy Boliger is from the Mt. Tabor Ward and he is organizing a group of bikers to do regular practice rides every Thursday and some Saturdays. He plans on meeting Thursdays at 6:30 pm and Saturdays in the morning (depending on the sun). The Thursday rides are usually 10-30 miles, depending on daylight, and the Saturday ones are 35-70 miles. The rides will be within the SE Portland, Clackamas Area. He has also recommended some other long distance rides to help prepare for the Bike to the Beach Trip:

Reach The Beach

Saturday May 16, 2009. This would be a great ride in preparation for the Seattle to Portland. This ride is to support American Lung Assoiciation of Oregon. There are 4 distances to choose from: Grand Ronde Road (26 miles), Amity (55 miles), Salem (77 miles) or Portland (100 mile).

You can go to http://rtb.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=294027 to register.

The cost is $25 plus each rider is asked to raise another $50 in donations for the cause, or pay it yourself.

Seattle to Portland

Saturday and Sunday July 11-12, 2009. Some people have expressed an interest in riding Friday and Saturday instead. I have contacted the race director and this is acceptable. This is 200 miles in 2 days.

You can register at http://www.cascade.org/EandR/stp/index.cfm. A ride guide is attached. The fee is $95. When you register you can authorize Troy Bolinger to pick up your packet. He will be picking up all of the packets at once on June 27^th then meet with those going to discuss the details.

Please leave a comment below let me know if you know of any other rides you think we should do as a group. I will try to post any new information as soon as I get it but if you want to be part of the email group or ask Troy when and where he is meeting for the rides during a given week just send him an email (troy@troybolinger.com).

T-Shirts

It's that time of year again to start thinking about the design for the Cycling Psychos t-shirt and I think it'll either be gray or white. This year will be the tenth annual ride and I want to do something special. One crazy thought was to do white shirts but have us all meet a week before and tie dye them. I'm still trying to think of ideas for the drawing too.
