Oregon Riders

[MikeyC]

Hey there,
Wanted to let locals, or if you would like to visit Oregon, in on a game here that has been going on for some years. It's called the ABCity Tour. For $15 entry they will issue you a number. Then you go to the list of towns that is provided. This year is "R" towns. You can do it using any mode of transportation that you like ( many of the members no longer ride on two wheels ). You get as many of the towns as you can and turn in your pictures by Sept 30. Usually in October there will be an awards dinner. Everything at the dinner will start with the letter "R". ( The dinner is well worth the $15 even if you didn't turn in any pictures ) and we find out who won and share stories about the adventures.

I know there are several Oregon riders on here so pipe up and also tell your friends. Information is usually on facebook under Oregon ABCity Tour. Do a google search and find it also.

Hope to see some of you out there.

MikeyC There is also the PNW Grand Tour, Bunch of places not just specific cities. https://pnwgrandtour.com/ is the linky

[MikeyC]

Yeah, been running routes on that one. Thinking we might only need two weeks to get-r-done

[Jaybo]

Someone on the facebook group posted a map and it said 7 days to do it, but he felt it could be done quicker... I'll see if I can find it and PM You.

[MikeyC]

Yeah, when I ran routes from the house for each one is was time consuming, but when I tied them together it dropped the miles and the time why down. Obviously, it knocked 16 hours off the Idaho ride and 16+ hours off the Montana ride.

[MikeyC]

Wow. 7 days makes it look a lot tastier

The thing I like about the ABCity tour is that for the entry you get the dinner. There were 60 people signed up last year and only 25 made the dinner, but of that 25 we shared some fun stories about the rides even from some people who didn't turn in any pictures.
I think with the Rose City Tour the dinner is an extra $50 per person, but it does have some cool raffles.
With this PNW Tour, there is no dinner so the comradery is missing. It's not as fun to do it and then say to yourself, I did it. You want to share some of the stories you created with other people. Like "we about froze our butt off up there" or "we met some super nice people over here" or "we got shot at for being there" you know, the fun stories.
