where? When I visit the area I'd love to Worship at the Shrine.
Maybe
visit the back alley with the trashcans. I'm going to the gym right
now to practice my dead lifts. I'm serious.

Joe's a Seattlite. Interpret that as you wish.

Be careful, Carol- you'll end up driving the full length of the West
Coast. Southern Oregon may be 6 hours from Oakland, but Portland's 4
hours past that, and Seattle's another 3 hours beyond that if you don't
get stuck in traffic.

Steve- come out to PIR and spectate. It's fun for everyone, and you'll
come to realize that there's lots of wackos like you around. Me in
particular.

if I have enough energy for a long ride.

Idaho, too, but mostly those of us with ERs. That's probably because
the whole fairing/skin setup is so easily purchased and installed. Just
my opinion, but I think the fairing should be everyone's first major
upgrade.

There are two or three uprights in Boise with bubble fairings but the
peer pressure for those poor *******s is to buy those (dangerously
inappropriate) aerobars instead of a fairing.

On m recumbent, I'm bucking the commonly accepted trends in bicycling
hardware and fashions by definition. Anything I can do to draw
attention to or add comfort to my riding experience is okay with me.

Looking at the pix of various group rides, I get the impression that
every recumbent bike in those states is faired, and many are also
body-socked. Is it because of the rain, or are there fierce winds?
OT, what do upright cyclists do, use partial fairings? or just
suffer?

C.C., need to know

We'll be driving up (with 2 borrowed EZ-1's) around Memorial Day
weekend. If we can schedule the long drive, I'd love to see the races.
Depends on the weather and the pull of all the other terrific sights
in western Oregon.

Is it true (according to Chuck Palahniuk's Portland guidebook) that the
upright cyclist racers take their victory laps nude (plus helmets &
shoes)? Do the recumbent cyclists do the same? And would it matter,
since they all have body socks & full fairings?
