The seventh annual Thrill of Swill took place on Sat. May 23, 2009. The event takes place over a twelve mile course that covers eight bars and finishes at Mindi and Kevin Pardy’s home, aptly known as Pardy’s Grease Spot, for a huge barbecue and horseshoe tournament.
The course has changed over the past few years but a lot of the riders stay the same. This year’s crew included around 34 riders from areas including Bend and Wash., and of course, several Eugene locals.
Among the stops this year was the Duck Inn, Jameson’s, The Cooler and Shooter’s. There is a poker tournament that had each player drawing one card at each stop from four, double-decks. The players were then able to swap in their cards at the last few stops to try to improve their hand. This year there was a deck of x-rated cards mixed in for a little surprise.
