Sunriver is a planned resort community in central Oregon (see link). Alice (Steve's mom) and Larry McLerran have a vacation house (known as "the dacha") in Sunriver which has been a favorite family getaway for many years.
We (Steve and Chris) were there from Aug 06-13, 2005. Here are a few shots from this gorgeous place.

Action bicycle shots!
There are miles of bike trails within Sunriver. We prefer the long "perimeter route".
