Runs Committee To Do:


Needed are people willing to layout runs, write up descriptions of their runs, research roads and do check outs for the runs, making sure there are rest stops, etc. We need run leaders and sweep cars for all runs. Runs need to be checked to be sure we won’t run into bicycle events or other club events for the enjoyment of all. Most of the run committee will need to be present for the event, but we welcome input from all on favorite roads, restaurants, and will need people to do a pre-run on another weekend or two to verify everything works and is signed properly.  We want a variety of half day runs and full day runs.
 

DIRECTIONS/MAPS:
  • Speed on runs
  • Run routes in Miles and Kilometers

RUNS:
  • Friday runs
  • Saturday runs
  • Sunday short run or run back to Portland

Restaurants: Welches/Timberline

Rendevuex Grill is really great restaurant. Wraptitude is a great lunch spot and may do boxed lunches - they make yummy wraps and have chips and cookies etc. 

Loco burrito is also very good. All three of these are in Welches

I'd stay away from the sports bar place and Chinese place 😜

The Mt hood brewing Co in government camp is decent too

The restaurant at Timberline is cascade room and is spendy but fabulous.
