    Join us for the almost 4th annual Midwesterners Ride (I missed hosting last year). Calling all Midwest transplants to Portland. You count even if you lived in Chicago for only 3 months when you were 21, or if you were born in South Dakota but moved before you could walk. Heck, youbetcha count if you're just Midwest curious! Like last time, bring your best potluck contribution (hot dish, beer brats, scotcheroos, New Glarus, Cincinnatti chili, etc) and wear something that shows your Midwest pride. We'll eat, ride (follow the cheeshead!) and maybe do some other Midwest inspired activities. We'll end at a bar (optional) for ongoing hanging. We might argue about the exact boundaries of the Midwest, whether it is "soda" or "pop," and which state is best (obviously Wisconsin) but what we agree on: It's not the heat, it's the humidity. I better not keep ya. See ya soon, ope!
