De Ronde Van Oeste Portlandia

I received a mysterious email message containing just three words:

pass it on

Attached was this PDF file. It describes what looks to me as a truly hellish bike ride taking place on April 7, apparently in honor of the Tour of Flanders.

Take a look at the flyer. The route is mapped here.

Ouch. I think I'm going to do this. Please note I'm not putting this on, just passing it on as instructed in the email I received. See you there? Bring your lungs and some good tires ;)
