Rose City Chapter

This weekends Hood River Ride, Saturday, April 19th, is canceled due to adverse weather. Unlike the sunny days of last weekend and 65-70 degree sunshine... this weekend is forecasting major rain / hail / and snow (above 1000 feet). Our ride was going up the gorge to Hood River then up through the hills to Parkdale, OR for lunch. Elevation in Parkdale is 1744 feet. With that said, Don Coen, Sr Road Captain and John Clark, Road Captain Team Leader and planner for this ride, have talked and feel that for the safety of the Chapter Members that this ride should be canceled.

The Hood River Blossom Festival will still go on... so if you feel that you want to drive up and enjoy (most of the festival is inside) it is open to the public. Check out the info below...
