We're leaving tomorrow for another fun road trip in the 84 low-topped faux
Westie with the Inline Mouse motor.  From the Portland, Oregon area to
Southern Utah for 4 days of bicycle racing and camping.  We'll probably
spend one nite in the Blue Mountains near Pendleton, the next at an out of
the way Nevada St. Park south of Jackpot called Cathedral Gorge and pull
into Snow Canyon State park (Utah) for the 3 nights while we are bike racing
with the other oldsters at the Huntsman World Sr. Games.  The bike racing at
this event draws all the best racers from around the country and from Europe
for age-group racing in 4 different disciplines.  Also offered are age-group
classes for less experienced racers. Many  other sports are offered too.

  If you are an Over 50 athlete looking for age-grouped competition in many
sports, or interested in that kind of thing, this event is a perfect
'excuse' to extend your summer season with a visit to the very scenic
southern Utah area at a great time of year.  It can be cool at night or even
rain, but normally it's shorts weather.  The organizers gladly accept
volunteers.

  Last year at this time, this was our Maiden Voyage in the "new" van..Since
then, it's been to Mexico, Canada, Nor Cal twice, and all over the
Northwest, with relatively few problems and much enjoyment..
