Just when you think you have wireless access, it goes away. I could not connect for the rest of the day. But that was Ok because I got very, very busy very, very fast. We opened up registration at 7:30 am, 30 minutes early. For the next hour and one half, we processed over 630 day of the ride registrations. This meant that we have well over 1,100 bicycles on the road! By all reports, everything went very well. The police presence in Keizer was very welcomed, as was the custom railroad crossing ramp that Tom built. But, the greatest hit of the day was the weather. After last year's rain, any sun at all would be an improvement. However, we had such a perfect day, everyone was very pleased.
