Bike Summer might be over but the rides keep on coming.
**Sponsored by River City E-Bikes**
Below are my picks for the best things to do by bike this weekend.
Friday, September 13th
El Grito Ride – 6:30 pm at Salmon Street Springs (SW)
Join the Cycle Homies for a fun ride with fellow vaqueros that will feature food from Taco Gang and a DJ-powered after party. More info here.
Saturday, September 14th
Ride for Sukho – 8:00 am at Legacy Coffee (Gresham)
Friends of Sukho Viboolsittiseri will honor his life with a group bike ride that will roll by the place he was seriously injured in a collision in May 2023. Sukho had planned to do this ride himself in order to, “reclaim the space and himself,” says friend Ryan Francesconi. More info here.
Ride the Rim – 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at Crater Lake National Park
Your last chance this year to ride the epic rim road around Crater Lake without being bothered by drivers and their cars. More info here.
Good Dirt – 9:00 am at Rocky Point Trails (Scappoose)
Join River City Bicycles and friends for this off-road group ride at the always-evolving and relatively nearby Rocky Point trail system. More info here.
