$63 Million.


$63 million, not bad. (Especially since the regional economy is $17 billion).
THAT it is what the cycling industry as a whole is worth to Oregon. It also provides 800 Jobs.

Racing NEWS - The McGraw separates her shoulder yesterday. Get well soon Laura!!! Yes - you now must refer to Laura as The McGraw. She will now refer to her self in the third person just like the Rock (WWF). SHE separates her shoulder on lap 2 and puts it back in on her own, then still goes on to finish the race. This course was super bumpy. The final laps had to hurt. So for all you ladies out there that think she's to pretty to race a bike. ;) She put the grrrr in girl. I don't think most guys would have finished including this one...
