It’s time to chime in and share your weekend bike adventures.

Are you one of the almost 10,000 folks who rode in the Seattle-to-Portland Classic this weekend? If so, we’d love to hear how it went. I’ve heard people do the 200 mile route on everything from unicycles to skateboards. What crazy things did you see?

Even if you don’t do the ride, you might want to swing by Holladay Park near the Lloyd Center for the big, post-ride party.

Also this weekend is The Night Ride.

Organizer Ayleen Crotty says the event is slated to “just a completely awesome night to be out on a bike in Portland! I can’t wait.” 2,000 riders are expected to be a part of the late-night ride action. There will be an all-you-can-eat, midnight doughnut feast, fire jugglers, a disco party stop, funky costumed “luna”-tics, and much more.

Whether you’re doing an organized ride, or just tooling around the neighborhood, share your adventures in the comments below.
