We're an easy going group of co-ed cyclists, beginning to intermediate level, riding in the Willamette Valley, South Portland and surrounding rural areas.  We average 12-15 MPH during our rides. No one gets left behind! Rides are 20+ miles in distance, and We are open to doing other activities including short hikes and kayaking. If you have an idea for ride tour or activity, we want to hear it (especially if it involves a bottle of wine and good food at the end!) Wine, but no whining!

We are an enthusiastic group of bicycle riders just Out Spoke'n with a wide range of bikers with varied riding experience and abilities. We welcome all bicyclists - beginners to maniacs; from short haul, enjoy-the-scenery folks to get-me-up-that-hill-fast animals. C'mon in. You will find us welcoming and fun.

I wanted to start up a leisurely bike riding group, around 10-12 mph pace that starts in the mid-afternoon, for those who aren't early risers. Helments are opptional; I don't wear one. All rides will start and finish on Portland's eastside. This is not a gung-ho riding group like the Wheelmen. You can show up in jeans and a t-shirt and you will fit right in!

… A cyclist does not have to be registered for the charity ride to participate in this meet-up group and any of the training rides; it is about getting on the bike and gaining health and fitness through cycling, and it is a way to socialize and make friends while gaining bike skills. The official ADA-sponsored Tour de Cure training rides are every Saturday starting the first Saturday in March until the next-to-last Saturday of July.  We also ride in the Monster Cookie Metric, the Ride Around Clar …

… The intensity of the pace generally makes long dives impractical, so the most effective strategies generally involve short, explosive efforts, precision teamwork and timing, and rapid cycling of all 10 players through the 6 active positions. There are no goal-keepers or off-sides rules, and goals are often scored on exciting, break-away plays or well-timed 2-against-1 or 3-against-2 attacks.   And now, there is an underwater hockey club in the Portland Area, join us!   WHERE? The practices are h …
