Here are my picks for the weekend…Saturday, October 4thForest Park Intro Ride – 9:30 am at Vera Katz on the Esplanade (SE)Join the fun-loving riders of Cycle Cats for a challenging but totally doable loop up into Forest Park and then home through St. Johns. Marine Drive Cleanup – 10:00 am at Home Depot (NE)Join Mark from SOLVE for a trash pickup party that will buff out our beloved path. Bike to Hike at Forest Park – 10:00 am at Ladd’s Circle Park (SE)Join advocates from BikeLoud PDX on one of their rides to mark Week Without Driving and learn just how easy it is to bike to Forest Park. Big Tree Bike Ride – 4:00 pm at Colonel Summers Park (SE)Specifically “not an educational ride,” leaders of this excursion just like big trees. “Not only will we bike past some big trees, we will also see wide trees, weird trees, stinky trees, and perhaps some shrubs!” they say.
