SAVE THE DATES

Portland Bicycling Club has a number of events and activities that are part of our history, our image, our unified membership. You will want to use your red Sharpie to enter these dates on your calendar so you don’t miss out:

June 13 Pioneer Century

Our own Pioneer Century is on the 13th of June. It’s usually on the first Saturday of June, but that date just didn’t mesh with plans the Canby Fire Department had for Sawtell Road, a key part of our route. There will be no other club rides that day. Please either register to ride (and bring your friends) or volunteer to help us put on our signature event.

July 11 & 12 Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic

Cascade Bicycle Club contracts with us to run the finish line for STP. Thousands of riders head down from Seattle on Saturday and join us at the finish line later that day or on Sunday. There are also buses on Friday and Monday and lots of other organization and setup. Volunteers are still needed. You can work more than one shift. As always, you are encouraged to ride the event if you choose–otherwise, please come help. There will be no club rides on July 11 or 12 as our members will be helping out at the finish line.

August 9 Annual Club Picnic

Finally, August brings our annual club picnic, which includes bike rides prior to the meal, raffle prizes and good food. Usually this event is on the first Sunday of August but when Arden Sheldon tried to sign up for Columbia Park, that Sunday was already taken. We have enjoyed Columbia Park and so we moved the date back one week to the 9th. I hope you will join us for the picnic.
