The next day, Sunday, I started the 100-mile Century at eight o'clock. I rode with some P.W.T.C. members through the whole eight laps around the island. It was a very successful ride, thanks to the Portland Wheelmen Touring Club. With last year's show attracting nearly 6,000 bicycle and outdoor enthusiasts, show organizers Tom Thompson and Phil Brown are expecting that number to increase to at least 10,000 this year with the increase in floor space and added number of exhibitors. The Tacoma Wheelmen's Club currently counts 30 members, with committees devoted to legislation, touring and racing.
Membership is open to everyone interested in bicycling.
One highlight of the year was the club ride from Oregon to San Francisco along the Oregon Coast.
