re: flats - yep, flat capital of the world right here. Everyone here uses at least 2 lines of protection - liners + goop or kevlar belts + liners... Still we have flats every organized ride.
Well, there were only 9 of us riding. 2 from PDX, one from Bend, the rest mostly from the tri-cities area I think (though I think one lives in White Salmon...)

The ride schedule for the Desert River Randonneurs is posted on the Oregon Rando website (the DRR group is not yet certified as it's own region, so our RBA administers their rides.) http://orrandonneurs.org/brevets/2011_brevets.html I think their next ride is the DRR600K June 11-12. You could contact Paul and see if they need any volunteers.

My two flats were actually the same flat. Piece of steel wire from a steel-belted-radial, I'm guessing. Missed it the first time. Second time (5 miles later) I changed the tire as well. Shoulda done that the first time!
