Weekend open thread: Share your bike fun
Lots of great rides are happening this weekend. Warmish, clear days are expected so there’s really no good excuse for not getting out there.
On Saturday, the Oregon Randonneurs are doing their annual Verboort Sausage Populaire. The route looks phenomenal. I can’t wait to read all about it from Cecil, Lynne and the gang.

The Forest Park Conservancy (formerly known as Friends of Forest Park) has asked the Portland United Mountain Pedalers (PUMP) to formally adopt the Firelane 5 singletrack.
The trail, a rare piece of singletrack in the 5,000+ acre park, was completed in late summer of 2006 and was the first mountain bike trail added to the park in nearly 20 years.
Back in June, members of PUMP and other advocates led a ride through Forest Park with bureaucrats and policymakers to share a knobby-tired perspective on the park’s future.

With just a few days left to turn in ballots (deadline is Tuesday night!), I hope everyone out there has voted.
I also hope you’ve all filled in the bubble for “Yes” on Measure 49.
Measure 49 is the effort to fix the infamously flawed Measure 37 (check out this page for more background).
Sensible and smart land-use planning is key to preserving Oregon’s livability, not to mention that unchecked development of our rural areas — which are home to many fantastic bike routes — would be a nightmare. Don’t believe me? Check out the maps of where some Measure 37 claims have popped up.
