It has been a big wildfire season in the Cascades. Last week, Hood River 
was treated to a 4-day airshow of helicopters and bombers attacking a 
rail road fire burning the steep gorge cliffs east of town. The Twin 
Tunnels Trail is closed due to fire suppression and it might not be open 
for Saturdays ride. The modified route has been blogged 
<http://randobiker.blogspot.com/2012/09/bikenfest-2012-hood-river-camp-baldwin.html> 
in case the trail is closed. You will find route sheets and GPS routes 
for both the original official route and the alternative wildfire route.

Several items I forgot to mention in the preride notes: The air quality 
was very good, no smoke. The start location map on the website includes 
a blue swimmer at the beach where the last information control is located.

For a good ride, sign up at the Oregon Randonneurs website.
