Bridge Pedal 2007
July 26, 2007
The Bridge Pedal is just about upon us; presented by Providence, the Oregonian, Kink, fox 12, starbucks and oregonlive.com.
It’s an opportunity to bike across 10 bridges, eight bridges or six bridges, or to walk across two bridges. It’s a great chance for some outside time and exercise.
Saturday August 11, there’s a Wellness Expo at the DoubleTree Hotel at Lloyd Center.
Sunday’s really where the action is; from 7-8 AM the hardcore 10 bridge (36 mile) riders will be taking off, from 7-7:30 the 8 bridge (24 mile) bikers will be accelerating, and from 8:30-9:30 the stalwart 6 bridge, 10 mile riders will be flying out of Downtown. If you’re walking, you’re leaving at 8AM.
You can register at New Seasons Markets, REI stores, River City Bikes, and Weir’s Cyclery — and if you want to save a few bucks, there’s two ways I know of. First, teams of five or more riders can save $5 per adult rider (form your team at the Bridge Pedal site), or you can pick up a coaster at your trusty rusty neighborhood Starbucks for $3 off your ride with the purchase of a Shaken Blueberry White Iced Tea.
