It’s the weekend! True to Portland’s usual hectic end-of-summer pace, there’s a lot going on around town. Be sure to check out our events guide as you make your plans. And let us know how it goes in the comments here.
As for us — it’s been a crazy week, and the weekend is much needed. Fortunately, Jonathan gets back to town this weekend after two weeks on the road (most recently riding Cycle Oregon — see here for all his updates).
We’ll both be at Biketobeerfest on Saturday, making sure our BikeCrafters have everything they need and running around taking photos of all the bike fun.
Lest you think things around here will ever be boring, I’ll also be getting ready to spend next week in Las Vegas, representing BikePortland and checking out the bike trade’s latest efforts to cater to the emerging transportational cycling market — and the growing advocacy work that goes along with that — at the industry’s mega annual trade show, Interbike.
We’re still seeking a bit of funding to help make the trip happen, and I’m still looking for a place to crash while there — get in touch with elly at bikeportland dot org if you’ve got a spare couch near the Strip or want to talk about sponsoring our coverage.
