I'm planning to ride Michael Wolfe's "UGB 200k" permanent on Saturday, September 5th, starting at the East end of the Hawthorne Bridge in SE Portland (less than 2k from my place), departing at 7:30 AM. Anyone care to join me? The ride is described on Michael's blog at: http://escapevelocipede.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-perms.html Cheers, b.
