Gourmet Century

Today was the Gourmet Metric Century, a Chris King Precision Components event.  This is one ride we look forward to for a variety of reasons.  It starts in McMinnville, only about an hours drive from Portland, the route taking riders through gorgeous Oregon wine country. True to it's name, the food is another reason we love this ride.  We started with breakfast and ended with a great dinner, complete with wine, and this year, even oysters on the half shell with a mignonette.  The theme?  France, complete with chanson française provided by a talented ensemble both at lunch and again at dinner.

After the ride you can even catch a glimpse of Chris King himself in the kitchen, helping prepare the dinner.
