Sutherlin Memorial Weekend Ride
May. 24 - 26 | Sutherlin, Oregon, 1 hour drive south of Eugene |
 Every year BF owners Leign & Ivy Robinson and Charlie DeRego host a delightful Memorial day weekend based around their hotel in Sutherlin, a 1 hour drive (or 3 hour ride) from Bike Friday. The weekend includes easy flattish riding along the incredibly scenic Umpqua river, pub stop with a riverside deck, picnic stop on the riverbank with an old iron waterpump to fill your bottles, ice-cream stop an absurd 15 minutes later, a winery stop and lunch at a real old fashioned soda fountain to enjoy maltshakes "like you will never forget" in a quaint hamlet full of antique stores. Whew, sounds like a hard day's riding! Read all about it. Message from your hosts: Yes, the owners of Sutherlin Inn, Charlie (Tuna) DeRego and Leigh Robinson, are again sponsoring a Memorial Day Weekend bike ride just as we have every year since we acquired Sutherlin Inn, but this may be the last of the rides because we may be selling the motel this year. With Memorial Day this year falling on the 26th of May, we will be riding on the 24th and 25th. We start off from the motel at 9AM on the 24th. Call the motel for room reservations and ask for the Memorial Day bicyclists' rate, which will get you a room for two people at the single-person rate. Join us if you can. We hope to see you there!--Charlie (Tuna) DeRego and Leigh Robinson |
