One of the things we love about being the go to for bike tours in and around Portland is being asked all kinds of questions about not only biking but restaurants, bars, hotels, places to go and things to do while here in Oregon.
Today while reserving a road bike for a group from Florida I was asked where would be a good place to set up “camp” (a reasonably priced B&B) for a week where you could go out in a different direction and ride a variety of terrain.
As a dyed in the wool proud Oregonian, naturally I wanted to send these guys to the most beautiful town with the best lodging, restaurants, roads, views and riding possible. Under pressure, here are the places I told him. What do you think of my choices and what others would you suggest? If you nominate YOUR home town, make sure to tell me why based on the criteria above!
McMinnville
Sandy
Molalla
Forest Grove
Hood River
Albany
As we get closer to June it’s time to start thinking about the Rose Festival and the Grand Floral Parade.
Last year Holly the dog and I volunteered to be bike mounted volunteers to help patrol in front of the parade and ask people to keep behind the line.
Holly took her job very seriously by allowing herself to be petted by tons of young parade watchers. She was so tired by the end of the day she had to lay down in our cargo bike!

Anyone who’s interested in being a volunteer can contact Lt. John Brooks at (503) 823-4829 or john[dot]brooks[at]portlandoregon[dot]gov.
