I guess they cancelled the races this morning at Bend because of ice. Maybe just postponded. I have a rant building up about riding a TT at a different course that is very dissimilar than the Nationals course. I hear there are two long runs in the time trial. Just wrong.
We just stopped for coffee and gas. It is kind of strange having someone pump your gas for you. The guy told me that Oregon is the only state left that does that. Funny.
Guy with a star.
They pump your gas in NJ, too. It’s the law.
Hold the rant Tilford….TT course was updated and run up’s and rock section are now removed!
More on the pumping your gas, or not in OR and NJ. However, if you are in a national park in OR you pump your own gas.

they will pump your gas in small town IA as well …”full service”!
They do that in Oregon for many reasons. It gives out of work (sometimes completely homeless) individuals a full-time job, gets them off of the streets, and paying taxes. I think it’s a great idea.
Also, right here in Kansas Steve there are small towns that still have Full Service gas stations. I know for sure there’s one in Newton (~25mi. North of Wichita).
