SK-not to worry!!! It's perfectly understandable. I think we're all feeling the "spring chore crunch" and then you have all that other stuff loaded on top!!!
Actually, the info that you provided is really helpful, so see, you did in fact help. I'll pass all of that stuff along.
The gal who is doing Cycle OR does in fact already ride but I believe she was really more of a weekend warrior (nothing wrong with that!!!) and then she had a kid...and...and...and.....
She was just lamenting to me today that she "hates spinning" and so I calmly stared into her eyes and said "repeat after me....spinning is my friend.....spinning is my friend.....I have gears and I must learn to use them...." She'll be fine. I'll just load her up with a batch of CYA (Echidna's (TE member and employee) own personal chamois cream) and try to meet up with her on some weekends between now and then to do some rides.
My other friend (local) and I are signed up for the Summit to Surf ride (from Welches up to Timberline and down to Hood River) at the end of July so we might get the Bend gal to join us for that one. Yeah Team Pear Bottom!!! "You're not the Bosc of me!!"

But I digress...seriously, thanks for your help!
