How have the high gas prices are affecting the club? Cecily and I already ride to work every day but we have found that we are rethinking going on long day trips on the weekend to mountain bike, and rather we are going road riding or running or mountain biking nearer to town.  

Are you commuting more? 

Are you mountain biking as much? 

What other activities are you doing that might burn less dinosaur bones? 

The first incarnation of the Gateway Green Vision Plan has been released by the Portland Development Commission.  Page 17 has a map that gives a good overview of the site plan..... and yes the plan allows for a large area dedicated to mountain biking.

 

BikePortland.org recently posted a article about the new Gateway Greenway. http://bikeportland.org/2008/05/20/an-exciting-vision-for-bikes-at-gateway-green/
