Hello,
We don't have a good selection of pictures........too
busy riding and having fun. Hope you can
use these; they were taken on the Alvord
Dry Lake bed with the Steens Mtns. in the
background.
We don't really have a bike riding club,
we are mainly a flying club..........the
bikes are bonus entertainment when we aren't
flying.
Q started the Central Oregon Powered Parachute
club....'COPS'......several years ago. He
also put together the first two Golden Eagle
kits. I rode one of his bikes and knew I
had to have one. Then Jerry rode it and liked
it well enough, he ordered one. Then along
came Brian and Tara, they decided to buy
one of Q's.
Q is the cameraman........tried to superimpose
him, that is the best I could do for the
first time. Tara is the daughter of Brian,
who was out of camera shot - Wish we could
claim her.
The Powered Parachute in the picture is mine,
but we all own one. The Alvord is covered
with one or two inches of water in the winter
months only. Warm sunny days evaporates the
water and then it is smooth and hard, great
for flying or bike riding.
We really enjoy the bikes. It gives us a
way to explore when it is too windy to fly.
Jackrabbit chasing on the bike is a challenge.
They are great sagebrush and sand runners,
change directions rapidly.........which challenges
our skills! They have to have that skill
to outrun Wiley Coyote.
Oregon has a wide variety of countryside.........from
rain and forest to high country desert and
sagebrush. It is a beautiful state. Lots
to see from both air and ground.
