URBAN WINEWORKS AND BISHOP CREEK CELLARS PRESENT THE 2ND ANNUAL PINOT
PEDAL BIKE RIDE
PORTLAND, OR – Bishop Creek and Urban Wineworks are kicking off the official fundraiser for projects like the NW Flanders Bridge Project. The event will start with a leisurely 16 or 27 mile bicycle ride organized by Shift and Umbrella which will spin through North Portland. The ride will journey along low-traffic roads in order to promote bicycling as a sustainable mode of transportation. After the ride is complete, riders and non-riders alike will convene at Urban Wineworks, to celebrate in style with wine, food and music.
Registration proceeds and a percentage of Bishop Creek Cellars’ sales will benefit bicycle and pedestrian-friendly projects in the Portland area.
What is the Bridge Project? There has been a proposal in the works for the past two years to recycle the old Sauvie Island bridge, and move it to NW Portland where it would span the I-405 beltway at NW Flanders Street to create a bicycle and pedestrian only byway. This will create a pedestrian and bicycle thoroughfare all the way from Tom McCall Waterfront Park to NW 23rd Ave. and beyond.
