BTA jerseys shown off in Oregon

We received this note from Jim in Oregon...

Last saturday the sun came out and my wife (Cindy) and i took a 20mile relaxing ride.....stopped at our favorite neighborhood eatery and had the attached picture taken. in our beloved and very attractive WA BTA shirts.

....today it is snowing....yesterday my coat was coated with hail and the roads were covered 1/2 inch deep....Oregon in March offers any kind of weather you can think about.

Hope all is well

Send us cycle holiday photos in your BTA jerseys. PS Jim has sent us an Oregon shirt which Phil Gyford models for us.

Missing Cycling in the West?

The Department for Planning and Infrastructure has withdrawn financial support for Cycling in the West so no hard copy will be distributed. You can still find the rides calendar here online and we are looking at alternative means to communicate with our members.
