Last Saturday night was a memorable night in Portland. The Handmade Bike Show was in town, Rapha held their Roller Race event, the Slap Dash Alleycat was on, and tons of people showed up to my little benefit party.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that came out to The Plan B, bought raffle tickets, and shared the night with us. It was great to meet a bunch of new people from Portland and beyond and from the looks of things, it seemed like everyone had a great time (including Commissioner Sam Adams who was in great spirits all night).
By the end of the night we sold 800 raffle tickets! That’s $800 (make that $700 after tipping those hard-working bartenders) towards making sure BikePortland.org stays alive and well.
Special thanks to Michael Kloeppel for making it happen, and to New Belgium, Ortlieb, Castelli, Gretchen Kloeppel, Keen Footwear, and SRAM/Rock Shox for the raffle prizes.
I think we’ll have to do it again some time.
