Coming up, the big Eugene bicycle event of the summer:
The Blackberry bRamble has long been known for its scenic route, extraordinary food at rest stops, reliable support and free blackberry pie and ice cream at the finish. The night before the ride, meet other riders at a community dinner ($10.00) in support of Eugene’s Adaptive Cycling program. All are welcome to reserve a campsite overnight in Amazon Park, and purchase a pancake breakfast on the morning of the ride.
Whether you’ve chosen the 100-mile Century, the 62-mile Metric Century, the 39-mile Crow Loop, or the 10/20 mile Community Ride, you’ll arrive back at Amazon Park to find a bike celebration in progress with: bike-powered music (with headliners Stephan Nance & Marv Ellis), local vendors community booths, bike obstacle course, tricycle race for kids, great food, and a beer garden!
If you’re hot and tired, cool off with a swim at Amazon Pool for only $1. It’s a wonderful time to be on a bike.

I look forward to seeing you at the Bicycle Breakfast this Friday.
