2024 Bike Fun

 

Here's what's cookin for bike fun I'm organizing this year!  

I aim to lead a nice variety of rides but two consistent things are punctual departure times and a lack of store stops. So come on time and bring your snacks!

Southerly Ladies - This monthly chill pace ride has been a lot of fun.  We usually get small groups of 4-8 riders and explore a variety of southern routes.  We meet at the north end of the Trolley Trail at SE 17th & Ochoco and depart punctually at 10:10am.  Details for each ride will be posted and on the Shift list.  No dudes, no e-bikes, no offense.

French Toast - Monthly 45 mile road ride starting at my house with breakfast.  This is a faster paced ride with a few regroup stops and a hill option.  These are by invitation only, so drop me a line (bicyclekitty@gmail) if you'd like to be added to the invite list.  Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45381807

Caz Plus - Join a group of adventurers riding to the end of the Springwater, past Boring to the dead end of the Cazadero Trail.  There's no trestle there (yet), so we'll lock up and go for a hike.  Dress accordingly.  Email me for more details please (bicyclekitty@gmail)

hill killerz lunch repeats - every Tuesday from 12:30pm-1pm in June, July and August, come play bikes on SE 52nd Avenue between Harney and Flavel. Earn a hill killerz sticker.

hill killerz social rides - monthly (June 25, July 23, August 20), meet at the top of SE 52nd near Flavel and enjoy 11 miles of turning it up to 11 on little bitty hills.  6:10pm punctual roll time

Swim Across Portland - Sunday, July 7th.  We'll ride to a public outdoor pool (BRING 4$ CASH), a secret beach and a public beach.  Kids welcome but must be comfortable riding on streets with cars and able to keep a 12mph pace.  

Bicycle Kitty Alley Catty - Saturday, July 13, meet at Brentwood Park at 2 to race or ride bikes around Brentwood-Darlington, answering clues and finding mystery spots.  Ends at Assembly Brewing with an after party and some small prizes.  No digital way-finding allowed, paper maps provided.

Ladies Bike Camping - Saturday, July 20 - Sunday July 21 - let's ride bikes to go camping!  Drop me a line (bicyclekitty@gmail) if you'd like to get added to the invite list. No dudes, no e-bikes, no offense.

 

Trek to Two Bridge Loop  - Saturday August 10 - meet at the new Trek location in Slabtown for coffee and donuts at 10am. Roll out at 10:30am on a medium-paced (12-14mph) road ride, crossing the two bridges over the Columbia River and enjoying the bike paths on each side. We'll finish where we started for a total of 40 miles.Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45381807
