The Texas 4000 is a charity bicycle ride by college students.  The ride starts in Austin, Texas and ends in Anchorage, Alaska.  Approximately 4000 miles.  The ride consists of four different routes.  The Sierra Route is scheduled to pass through Grants Pass on July 8th and eventually end up at the airport in Merlin where the riders will camp out over night.  Along the way they hope to raise money for cancer research.  Might be fun to stop by once they arrive to see how they are doing and offer some support.

Hi guys.  You may recall I mentioned previously that the Sports Car Market sponsored “SCM 1000” this year included a stop at Crater Lake.  I have learned this will occur at around noon on July 12.  I thought it would be great to caravan a bunch of us to the Park that day to see cars and have fun like last year.  Sports Car Market is excited to have us there and would like to talk about a similar event for Southern Oregon in the future.  I think we should get there early so like last year I think meeting at Spicers resteraunt at 8:00 am for people wanting to go would be a good start.Spicers is out by the old Pier One location on Crater Lake hwy.  please pass along my email to anyone interested and have them contact me by email so we know who to expect lest we leave without someone !  Thanks Ron 541-821-2177.
