RE: Blue Mountain Cen- tury Scenic Bikeway An- nual Ride What an amazing event! I have done quite a few organized rides and can tell you that your ride was just outstanding. The Gold Star. Specifically I walked away thinking that Heppner has to be the friendliest place on the planet, everyone was so nice to us. A few details that I really loved: -The signs that wel- comed us to stores. -The dinner with the slideshow. (best ribs ever!) -Showers after the ride for the folks who went back to Heppner -Ability to ride from one town to another. -Route was super fun and had a lot of variety and animals. -Impressive that Sheryll knew everyone. And she was never tired of answer- ing questions. -Welcome package. -Massages, Arrange- ments for Specialty Coffee --- very smart to help people spend money and get ser- vices that they want. -Having a football game (or other town event) tied to the Friday night. -Ability of Sheryll to look out for us while we were figuring out the lo- gistics.
