The whole reason I am on this ride is because of a man named Mark Bosworth. Mark was a volunteer on Cycle Oregon in 2011 and went missing during the ride and he is still missing. His family set up a scholarship in his name to sponsor first time riders on Cycle Oregon. My wife and I were lucky enough to receive the scholarship last fall. I had such an amazing time last year that I am back again this fall. If you are interested in learning more about the scholarship or would like to donate to the fund, please check out www.markbosworthfund.org

A great first day of the ride. There were a few hills, but overall, a pretty nice day on the bike! I wanted to post last night, but had no reception in the small valley we were staying in.
