😂only compared to Boulder. Bend is like an I-70 Colorado ski town without the good snow. White AF, trailheads packed full of sprinter vans, a mess of road construction, NIMBY-ethos reigns supreme. That’s just the town, the Cascades and high desert are sublime.

Bend was a sweet little town 40+ years ago and the sports (biking, skiing, fishing…) were accessible to pretty much anyone who could carve out a little recreation time. Now the sports have price tags that start at $5000 each. The area is now populated by those who participate in the sports and those who serve those who participate. The latter can’t participate. They don’t have enough money.

Thanks for all the props re: Bend and also the Willamette Valley. But I can not believe you didn’t climb Hwy 242 to McKenzie Pass. When done from the west side it’s ~4,000’ of gain. And it’s closed to cars at this time of year!

Speaking of Mancebo and Bend's brewpub vibe, worth (pun intended) noting that Worthy Brewing owner financed doping controls for Cascade Classic one year to confirm who he believed would DNS for the master's race. Worked like a charm.

Lets get you a drafting team for these KOMs. I'm a big tall dude and can pull hard as heck for the first 3 or 4 minutes. Then we need someone who can do the next 15 minutes. Sagan didn't make the olympics so we could get him.

My roadie years were spent on the SF peninsula (old la honda, tunitas creek, et al) and that area is an 11/10 for roadies.

A bunch of people from Southern California exporting tiny bits throughout the country.
