I hope you are staying in Hood River, nicer, IMHO, than The Dalles. I don't know much about it, though, I'm going to drive in Sunday morning.
Right now, based on PMs, I'm going to leave my place 5:30 am, and should get there before 8 am. I'll look for you guys in the parkinglot and/or near the registration desk!
Also, I may have a bent riding friend with me as well, so look for a man and a woman riding bents and that may be us.

See you.
