2007 BIKE FRIDAY HOMECOMING @ CYCLE OREGON
~ Sep 8-15, 2007 ~100 VIP Bike Friday slots!
UPDATE April 18, 2007: Well, Cycle Oregon is full, and we managed to attract 97 Bike Friday registrations. That's just 3 shy of our goal of a 'century', but a great effort nonetheless! If you missed out, you can still enter our story contest to vie for one of two spots we've kept aside on the tour. A prize pack of Bike Friday goodies will be awarded after the close of each month, but the grand judging will happen end of July, announced August 5, and two lucky people will pedal off into the rainstorm, sorry, sunset, on Cycle Oregon. See below.
STORY CONTEST: Win a spot on the Cycle Oregon/BF Homecoming Tour Sep 8-15, 2007 Cycle Oregon is officially full, with a big waiting list. However, two lucky Bike Friday owners will get to do the tour even though entries are closed. We have retained 2 spots as a Super Prize Giveaway: just write a compelling story, no more than 2 letter sized pages, about something you've done on a Friday. It can be a tour, a tootle, perhaps it's your livelihood or your experience on a previous Cycle Oregon. Maybe your Bike Friday saved your life, or at least your sanity. You must include at least one photograph of yourself and your Bike Friday (please, no riderless bikes against fences - it's not about the bike!). |
HURRY! LAST CHANCE! (Tour is now full)
FALL may seem a double century away, but several Friday folk have already leapt into the saddle and signed up for the 2007 Bike Friday Homecoming. Start planning now - more than 1000 riders have already registered for this milestone year: the 20th Anniversary of 'The Best Bike Ride in America'. Cycle Oregon are expecting a big show of small wheels from the Friday fraternity - we've even got our own special link on the CO website. Here's a whiff of that rarified Oregon air to get you in motion:
This year is our 20th Anniversary, and we're going all out. The Cycle Oregon 2007 course is an amazing Cascades loop that takes in wide-open high desert, primeval old-growth forest, pristine blue lakes, bubbling mountain streams and even moonscapes of lava rock. We'll ride on roads that cars don't even know about. Your week on wheels will capture the true essence of Oregon - including the small-town hospitality we're famous for. From the Cycle Oregon Website.
