Lakeside Bicycles Invites Portland Velo on Rides
Thanks to our sponsor LAKESIDE BICYCLES, Portland Velo has been invited to join them on their Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday weekly rides which begin at Lakeside Bicycles in Lake Oswego.
Wednesday and Saturday rides vary from 35 to 80+ miles in length depending on who shows up and how much time they have. Sunday rides need to return to Lakeside Bicycles before noon so we can open the shop. All the rides leave from behind Lakeside Bicycles. The pace can be pretty frisky but in no case is anyone left behind or otherwise destroyed or intimidated. Weekend parking is available on-street and in any of the municipal public parking lots (which are unpatrolled on weekends). Wednesday parking needs to be a bit more circumspect particularly for rides that run more than 3 hours. Routes and duration are determined by a somewhat democratic process: Everyone gets a vote, the loudest voice (usually Doug's) decides.
Shop for Portland Velo gear in our online store!
You can buy sweatshirts, t-shirts, coffee mugs, mousepads - all kinds of stuff to wear or use before or after a ride. A portion of the proceeds goes to support our club and the items are shipped directly to you! Check out the selection at Cafe Press. 
Soon we will have all new items in the CafePress store with our new 2010 kit designs!
NEW! Shop for race team gear here.
