Reposting here an update I just posted on BikePortland.org...

I got off the phone with Don Kruger and obviously, he is very pleased with the strong support he is receiving from the bike community (here and through email) and he told me they are looking at some other legal routes - outside the appeal process for the farm stand permit - to continue to host bike races at the farm.

One thing Don asked me to relay to everyone is for individuals to NOT file an appeal to this ruling, as it might interfere with the other route he and his lawyer are exploring. If in the end an appeal of the ruling turns out to be their best option, they will certainly do so.

As for the likelihood of any Kruger's races happening this year, it's really too early to call. Both Don and myself are committed to do whatever we can to make it happen. If any of you happen to have connections with Multnomah County (especially with the County Commissioners) that could help facilitate a solution for the upcoming races, please e-mail me off-list.
