Hey,

I'm new to the area and am considering doing the weekly PUMP ride. I'm temporarily living in Canby and will happy to pick a person or two up that are ON THE WAY. I have rack room for three bikes (including mine) and excellent taste in music. Let me know if you are interested.

Here a link to the article I mentioned in Dirt Rag on the Bike Patrol in Oakland, CA. We'll post more about the Bike Ambassador program in forest park soon.

Join PUMP for our Wed night BBQ ride in Forest Park.

We'll meet at the Skyline Tavern @ 6:00 break into groups based on who shows up, then ride the "wild side" of Forest Park (German town area). We'll typically cover ~10 - 20 miles.

Follow it up by a potluck style BBQ at Skyline Tavern, Bring somthing to Q. PUMP will supply the hot coals & post-ride drinks can be purchased from the bar.

Anyone else think it would be a fun idea to have a race in forest park, see if we could get use of some of the off limit trails like wildwood for the race?  an XC race, or?  There are tons of nice looking trails there, many of which don't have many hikers using them and I am sure lots of mt. bikers would love to ride them.  It would just be nice to have a annual occasion where mt. bikers own forest park.
