Take a Kid MTB Day – 9:00 am at Gateway Green (NE)
It’s a national holiday (seriously, it was established by Congress in 2004)! What more reason do you need to participate in this excellent excuse to ride with your kiddos out at the always-fun Gateway Green MTB park? More info here.
Parkrose Pedal – 11:00 am at Parkrose Middle School (NE)
We were at the inaugural event (then called Prescott Pedal) in 2020 and are thrilled that it’s coming back. Join this wonderful community for a school-based ride where kids and families take over the streets to demonstrate the power and pleasure of cycling. More info here.

Doesn’t the Weekend Event Guide usually come out on Friday? Or maybe I’m losing it.
Nope. I might have let it run late and I have no problem putting it out on Fridays. But typically we’ve done it on Thursdays so folks have a little time to plan.
It’s not a “SWAP”meet if you’ve to pay $10 for a “seller’s space.”
Why not just meet in a park and actually, you know, make trade or even barter offers.
If memory servers, I think there was once a time in Portland that it Swapmeets went down like that.
