"Wall of Shame"
TCBC wants to publish a "Wall of Shame" on our website. Please send your digital photos of local trouble spots to the info email address at bottom.
The goal is to increase pressure on local agencies to remove or improve hazards to cyclists. A good example is any storm drain with long slots parallel to the roadway. Send a picture and description of the location.
ALSO: We will register your complaint with BicycleWatch.Org.

Walla Walla Tour Coming Up
George Kyriazis and Jane Sereda have planned an overnight tour to Walla Walla on July 19-20. Highlights of this trip are dinner at the Destinations Grill in the restored train depot, plus a winery tour or three. Details for the WW tour are posted on the Tours page. Space still available (eight riders signed up to date.)
The Teapot Dome Tour was successful. Three other couples; Vicki & Tom Patten, Sue & Dave Gerkensmeyer, and Kathleen & Ed Nordquist, joined Ellie & John Ittner for the tour. We ate our way to Toppenish with a breakfast launch at Shadow Mountain Grill, lunch at the Blue Goose, and ice Cream at Dairy Fair.
After breakfast at the Best Western Toppenish Inn, the group headed for the Teapot Dome Oil Company station, an historical landmark in Zillah. Lunch at Snipes Mountain Brewing, then dodging a fire near Whitstran, and finally home. Pictures to come.
