Dishin' It

[June 7th, 2006] If, like us, you ride your bike primarily to save up money to eat more, you're gonna drool all over the upcoming Tour d'Organics bike tour. Rather than riding through beautiful farmland and intermittently pulling Power Bars out of their jersey, cyclists will get to make pit stops at farms to recharge with fresh organic produce, then scarf a vegan post-ride meal from Blossoming Lotus . Sponsored by Ecotrust, Blossoming Lotus, People's Food Co-op, the BTA and OrganicAthlete (what a mouthful!), the 35-, 65- or 100-mile ride is over two weeks away, but you can register now at www.tourdorganics.com to avoid getting stuck with a late fee. >> Going through Family Supper withdrawal? Rumor has it that organic caterers Phresh are planning to kickstart a new regular dinner stint in Portland over the summer. They're still working out the details, but if you can't wait, look for them at Carlton Winemakers Studio (www.winemakersstudio.com), where they have been throwing wine dinners with increasing regularity, or book them yourself—find them online at www.thatsphresh.com.
