Speaking of bike tourism promotion... The fifth annual Oregon Bike Summit has been scheduled for June 4th.
Organized by Cycle Oregon, this Summit has become the key event in galvanizing the effort to make Oregon "The land bicycles dream about." The 2010 event will be one day only (it's been a two-day event since 2007) and it will be held at the World Trade Center in downtown Portland from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Here's more from event organizers:
"The programs will be balanced between spotlighting statewide bicycle projects and continuing our work on cycling-related legislative issues. Learn more about exciting projects such as Travel Oregon's new Ride Oregon Ride Web site and the continuing development of the Scenic Bikeways program, and prepare strategy to be effective advocates before and during the 2011 legislative session."
Like last year, there will be a group bike ride on the Saturday following the event. If you're interested in becoming more involved with bike issues, the bike industry, or any facet of bicycling in Oregon, I'd strongly recommend this event. I've attended it every year and it's always been worthwhile.
In previous years, the Oregon Bike Summit has been held in Eugene, Sisters, Jantzen Beach (North Portland) and Salem. To learn more about what goes on at this event, browse BikePortland's coverage from 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.

Recommendedi'm not sure if it was '06 or '07, but i certainly don't remember paying 50 bucks for it.
I too do not recall paying to attend the summit.
However, Cycle Wild will have a table!
