After I shared a story about a recent ride in Forest Park, I heard from many readers with fun routes of their own. The story and photos come to us from southwest Portland resident Hudson Henry.
Do you desperately need a mountain bike ride, but don’t have the time to get to the coast range or Gorge? Do you close your eyes and picture that knobby tire leading you carefree through the woods? When I feel the stress build up and really need a quick dirt ride, I head out Highway 30 to the northern reaches of Forrest Park. While the legal riding there is technically on firelanes, the northern lanes are often very rugged and trail like.
It’s been a big week for the guys over at Ruckus Composites. They made the cover of the Portland Mercury for putting a hot dog into space (not a typo) and now they’re getting ready to host a big bike swap in Saturday.
Check the event description and the flyer below for all the details:
Last month I shared the story of a reader who admitted that he doesn’t always stop for people on foot waiting to cross the road in front of him. In that story I mentioned Oregon’s crosswalk law; but I mistakenly left out a key part of it. After hearing from several readers who were concerned about what I wrote, I want to clear up any confusion about the law. Here’s what I wrote:
Oregon law (ORS 811.028) clearly states that if you see a person waiting to cross an intersection at a corner, and you’re able to do so in time, you must stop and let them cross.
What I failed to mention is that you are only required to stop if the person has made some effort to demonstrate their desire to cross. My memory of recent legislation changes to the crosswalk laws was faulty and I regret the error. Thankfully, I’ve heard from Oregon Walk Executive Director Steph Routh and she has helped sort out my misunderstandings.

2013 is shaping up to be a huge year for The Lumberyard indoor bike park. Yesterday I shared news about two clinics/events this month and today they’ve just shared news of yet another big event. Check out full details below…
Lumberyard Indoor Bike Park will host Sugar Showdown Woman’s Weekend
The Lumberyard MTB, Portland’s unique indoor bike park at 2700 NE 82nd Ave, will host our first ever Sugar Showdown Women’s Weekend January 25-27, 2013. All skill levels are welcome. Groups will be split into beginner, intermediate and advanced. Women riders will learn riding techniques, pumping, jumping, drops, wheel lifts, cornering, railing and berms.
Sweetlines U.S. and Canadian pro-instructors Kat Sweet, Tammy Donahugh, Angi Weston, Lindsey Vories, Cortney Knudson, Gale Dahlager, and Lorraine Blancher will provide top-notch mountain biking instruction tailored to women. Sweetlines mission is to build confidence, create community, and promote stewardship through educational mountain biking programs that empower women and youth.
“We are building the Sisterhood of Shred with this event,” said Kat Sweet, founder of Sweetlines and a 25-year mountain biking veteran. “By providing a super supportive environment with the best coaches in North America, women are able to push their own personal boundaries while having tons of fun.”
On Friday evening riders will have an opportunity to meet the instructors and other women taking the clinic. On Saturday, the team of coaches will offer workshops and classes concentrated on jumps, drops, wall rides and berms. On Sunday, riders can show off what they learned by competing for different prizes during the pump and jump competition. Judging will be based on style, skill, and trickery. Spectators are welcome to come watch Sunday’s event. The Lumberyard will be closed to all other riders from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday for the Women’s Weekend.
The event sponsors include Shimano, Teva, Race Face, Diety, Nutcase, and Pivot Cycles.
The Clinic costs $150 and is limited to 60 women. The competition is an additional $30.
In response to multiple citizen complaints, the Portland Police Bureau says they plan to begin a series of enforcement actions on the Springwater Corridor Trail near Sellwood Riverfront Park.
BikePortland was contacted by Sgt. Ty Engstrom of the PPB Traffic Division on December 14th in hopes we could spread awareness about this intersection (Engstrom has been the bicycle liaison officer but was just recently transferred to Central Precinct). Sgt. Engstrom said, “I wanted to let you know about this issue to see if you could help spread the word to local cyclists of a complaint we’ve received multiple times. We will be starting some enforcement in the area.”
