Hi OBRAland,

For the central Oregonians (or those that visit here frequently) I wanted to
make you all aware of a new website:

http://bendoutside.com/

BendOutside.com is an event website focusing on outdoor endurance sports
like cycling, running, xc skiing, etc. In my opinion, this web site is
valuable because so many of us are multisport athletes and there is no one
website that consolidates all the events. I know there have been a couple
attempts at this before (including one by me already), but I hope this one
will be different because of one key ingredient, YOU! As soon as you create
an account and login, you'll have the ability to add and comment on
events. I plan to make this site known to all the local promoters so that
they can also join and add their events. However, as we get going, I invite
anyone to add anything that is missing. Commenting on events is also
encouraged, so let's hear your opinions.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired of scouring way too many
websites and still missing fun events. :-( I'll be trying to get the word
out and would be appreciative of any of you passing it along as well.

Thanks,
John
