We have started in Portland every year except last year when we decided to start from Corvallis. But our buddy lives in the Salem area and since we're not doing it with him he's going to start from Salem. Makes sense eh?
As for transport, they use moving vans with blankets and pads to get the bikes back to the start, and large buses to get the folks back. I always had a great DH who came and picked us up and then drove out tired butts back home!

GREAT today! no lingering 'soreness' ....ANYWHERE!!!
Yesterday my right calf was tight and super sore...but after a LOT of massaging...it's A-OK today! (I need to do more stretching before and after I guess)
Wow....3rd deployment.... at this point it must be harder on you guys than it is on him huh?

I'm doing Reach the Beach, but starting from Scholls. He's be welcome to ride with us (there are a few of us in the group) but since we're starting from different places there's probably no chance of meeting up with him.
Anyone else doing this ride??
