[ORRando] Barlow Trail 300 Pre-Ride

[Bill Gobie]

Maupin ... Maupin ... Maupin ... Maupin....  I have a hazy  
recollection of such a place.  Heat haze, that is.  The 40-mph  
downhill run into town was strangely lacking in cooling effect.  And  
then the climb out ... whoof!  The river is pretty.

I highly recommend a cooling scarf:

Saved my bacon.  Or kept me from turning into fried bacon, at least.

Sounds like a great ride.  I'd be there, but I have to ride a 200k  
brevet for an SR.  Rules are rules.
