PS... Sorry for the confusion folks, Cycle Oregon HQ, 2125 N Flint Ave
is in PORTLAND, OREGON!
The film fest starts promptly at 3pm. Join the pre-film FUN RIDE: Meet
at Portland Saturday Market fountain at noon, we'll have lunch, then
depart at 1.30pm and ride to Cycle Oregon HQ (easy, about an hour).
This ride led by Bike Friday owner and Shift2Bikes.org advocate Jeff
Bernards (see the BF Club of Portland webpage,
http://www.bikefriday.com/main.cfm?fuseaction=clubs.viewClub&ID=17).

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Galfromdownunder Film Fest at Cycle Oregon HQ
If you're interested in Bike Fridays on Cycle Oregon, sleeping with the
enemy in Cuba, Biking the Highest Paved Road in the World, drafting
6-time RAAM champ Lon Haldeman, or even how to make neat films with a
jersey-pocket camera, read on ... otherwise, you know where that delete
key is ...

Jerry Norquist has kindly loaned me the Cycle Oregon HQ, 2125 N Flint
Ave., to show a 'mini film fest' on May 8, 3-6pm. All movies were shot
with a $200 Canon Digital Elph camera hanging from my neck and edited
with basic Apple movie software on a laptop - and the results are
'impressive', says John Schubert (Adventure Cycling), Fred Matheny
(RoadBikeRider.com), and Lon Haldeman (RAAM). Come to any items that
"turn your crank." Free, it's all for a good cause (fun), although a
donation to the Peruvian orphanage is very much appreciated. Bring your
own pop, RSVP appreciated.

Sunday May 8, GALFROMDOWNUNDER MINI FILM FESTIVAL:
1) 3.00 pm: Bike Friday Arizona Desert Camp, 40 minute DVD movie of the
Lon Haldeman camp. See people like 79 year young Patricia Daniels
riding 82 miles ... that's gonna be us one day ...
http://www.bikefriday.com/bf/desertcamp2005
2) 3.45 pm: Bike Friday Homecoming on Cycle Oregon 2003: a 15-minute
film of the 70+ Bike Friday contingent (and many folks aged 70+!) who
camped and froze with the best of us.

3) 4pm: Handsomest Man in Cuba slideshow (around 40 minutes), Q&A. Save
yourself the airfare and a US government fine - this is no 'buena vista
social club' but Cuba down and dirty from a bicycle seat. Book sale and
signing, you can also buy the book from Powell's.

4) 5pm: "PASS THE OXYGEN PLEASE: 16,000 Feet on a Friday: a 40 minute
DVD of biking the Highest Paved Road in the World with Lon Haldeman
last October. http://www.bikefriday.com/bf/galfromdownunder-peru2004
5) 6.00pm: - we go get pizza and hang out!
There might be a BF social Ride (everyone invited) on that Sat/Sun too
if I can get someone local to help - I can't navigate my way out of a
Pringles tube ... watch for updates on http://www.bikefriday.com/events
PS: Hello to anyone who is going to be at Wordstock this weekend - I'll
be standing there at Willammette Writers with The Handsomest Man (I
wish) from 1-3pm Sat... come by and make me feel like John Grisham for
5 minutes!
