Online Reg. Closes: Thu, Feb 7, 2008 11:59 PM PST
Hope you’re not letting the wet, slushy, snowy days put a damper on your weekend bike plans.
Last night we started things off right with a nice gathering of regular BikePortland.org readers at the Lucky Lab (SE). It was great fun putting real faces to screen names and I think we’ll make Social Hour a regular thing.
WHEN: February 3rd, 2008
WHERE: Meet at Ecotrust Building (NW 10th & Irving – in parking lot by
bike racks)
WHEN: 11am, expect to take 2-3 hours for the bike and hike.
WHAT TO BRING: A bike and a bike lock, rain gear, and water to drink. Easy to carry bike/back bags recommended. Remember that if you bring a pannier you’ll be hiking with it.
BIKE POLICY: We want you to come by bicycle. But be prepared to leave your bike at the natural area entrance. Almost all of these areas are closed to bicycle traffic. It’s a humbling reminder to us that prefer cycles that we too can cause big impacts in certain environments.
RSVP: Not necessary, just show up, but if you want to let us know you are coming do get in touch.

TEASER: Later in the season we’ll return for a longer hike amongst the spring blossoms and birds, winding our way to the Audubon Society.
Tonight (Friday) at the Lucky Lab (915 SE Hawthorne), myself and a few regular readers will get together for the first BikePortland.org Social Hour.
This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time and, after it was recently brought up in the comments yet again, reader “a.O” stepped up and reminded me to post about it.
The idea is to take the discussion offline and maybe make some connections with like-minded (or not) fellow readers. There’s certainly no shortage of topics to discuss these days.
