Eola Hills Wine Ride, 45 or 70 miles
Rickreall, Oregon (west of Salem)
For those of you that have ridden on this “Bike Oregon Wine Country" ride, you know what we mean when we say this is a great day of riding, food and wine. The folks at Eola Hills Wine Cellars are really nice to us and give us an outstanding deal…two for one on registration!
Registration usually costs $65 per person, but if you register before July 1st you register two people (your tandem team) for $65. You may say $65 is a lot of money but here’s what you get…lunch at another Willamette Valley winery and after the ride there’s a fantastic barbeque feast and enjoy a glass or two of Eola Hills wine. We strongly suggest you support Eola Hills by buying wine while you are there. They even offer case discounts.
Thanksgoes out to TNT club member, Jack Liskear, for arranging this deal with Eola Hills Wine Cellars. Jack is providing mechanical support on the ride through his bike shop, En Selle.
To register call Rich Washburn at 503-623-2405. Tell him you are with Team Northwest Tandemonium and he will give you a two for one deal. Your tandem team will pay $65 total, instead of $65 per person! Be sure to call by July 1st to get this discount! After that date, it’s full price. Be sure to thank him for the great deal.
