Kick Off This Summer Right and Take a Ride!

We did it, everyone! After enduring nine full months of misty mornings, torrential downpours, and bad weather to make this history books (I mean for goodness sake, our Worst Day of the Year ride was cancelled because it was the worse than our typical worst day of the year!) I think it’s safe to admit summer is finally here! We can finally put our shorts on and enjoy that bright orb in the sky.

It’s about time we get to enjoy some good weather, and we want to make sure you get the most out of it. Get out there and ride this summer! Here are a few places you can enjoy the sights and scenery unique to our corner of the world:

The Springwater Corridor Trail features some of the local wetlands and wildlife still found in the PDX area. The trail itself intertwines with Johnson Creek and has more than ten bridges crossing the water! Johnson Creek is credited as one of the last free flowing bodies of water in the Portland metro area.

The Southeast Neighborhood Trail takes you on a 13 mile loop throughout the historic southeast Portland neighborhoods and along the Willamette. The trail has very few inclines, and follows low-traffic roads, bike lines, and off street paths, ensuring you can enjoy the ride a little more.
