Feb. 11th, 2014 17:24Saturday February 8, 2014 Worst Day of the Year Ride Canceled Because of Bad Weather
February 6
Riders won't ride through the hills with snow on them, but will take a shorter route through city streets and then party.
It's a moment that Portland cyclists will be living down for years, if not decades: the challenging portion of the 2014 Worst Day of the Year Ride, which had been scheduled for this Sunday, has been canceled because the weather will be bad.
By bad we mean that there will be as many as eight inches of snow on the ground in Portland. The ride is, of course, supposedly timed to the worst weather day of the year. And just yesterday, ride organizers were encouraging riders to "have no fear about the forecast."

***LONDON — The British immigration minister has resigned after revealing that his house cleaner of six years was living in the country illegally.
Mr. Harper, who had been leading a crackdown on illegal immigration in Britain, was an important part of a "go home" campaign, which included posters pasted on vans across the country encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the country.
