PDX GOLD - June 30, 9 AM
Here's your second chance of the year to Chase Lions from SE Portland. PDX Gold starts at Brooklyn Park, 3340 SE 10th Ave, and ends on the Springwater on the Willamette. 
In between, we will hit the best cuts and climbs in SW PDX that Ronde PDX and Giro PDX couldn't fit in.
ROUTE HERE (one little route change vs. last year to accommodate a road closure)

LA DOYENNE RECAP
On May 19, the aid station before Hidden Falls, presented by Skratch Labs and Miriam, garnered $299 in rider donations to the Gifted Wishes Foundation. 
After conquering the victory lap atop Mt. Scott, riders enjoyed bevies at the New Belgium Celebration Station and donated $196 to the Community Cycling Center.
That's $495 raised for La Doyenne and $1685 for the season so far.

Ride some more in '24

And the hits just keep on coming for the PDX Classics - Chasing Lions.

So many firsts unveiled for PDX Gold next Sunday, June 30:

 

  • Stunning art by Rayco replaces my dull endeavors. See the brilliance on Instagram
  • Cyclepath PDX is providing free mechanical support at the beginning of the ride starting at 8:30 - basic tuning and adjustments only. Sweet perk!
  • Skratch Labs products will be for sale at the start of the ride, coordinated by Cyclepath. All proceeds will still go to our charities.
  • The fastest finisher will receive a Free Haircut from the newly opened Cutters PDX. Brian will transform the scruffiest hirsute into an aero slickster.

Of course, we'll have the usual perks: the start-line Nossa Familia iced coffee, midpoint skratch labs aid station, and finish-line New Belgium Celebration Station.

This is the only one of the five PDX Classics routes for which I haven't yet made a mini version. Will you come ride if I make a mini? LMK

PDX Gold starts 9 AM at Brooklyn Park, 3340 SE 10th Ave, and ends on the Springwater on the Willamette. 

See you there!
