SUMMARY:Bike Touring Slide Show -- Ukraine\, USA by Amtrak\, and 
 Washington State
CONTACT:Ted Buehler
DESCRIPTION:*not a ride* \n\nFour people presenting about bike touring.  
 Come vicariously enjoy tales and photos from travels.  \n\nBike Touring is
  a great way to see the world.  You are in your own air space.  You can 
 see things\, smell things\, hear things\, enjoy the sun\, wind\, and rain 
 firsthand.  \n\nIt's also affordable\, fun\, and can make your body feel 
 great.  \n\nI've been bike touring since I was 18\, and have met a lot of 
 fellow Portlanders who have also gone to far flung parts of the world.  Or
  local parts of the world.  On their bicycles.  So I'm organizing this 
 slide show series to give us all an opportunity to learn from each other\,
  and provide motivation and instruction for people who would like to begin
  touring the world by bicycle.  \n\nSo.  I'm hosting a 3-part bike touring
  slide show series at Migration Brewpub.  It's free.  It's informal\, you 
 can come and go as you like.  Food is Nicaraguan.  By Chef Rene.  Beer is 
 good.  https://migrationbrewing.com/pubs/williams-pub-patio/\n\nFeb 4th 
 Lineup\n\n6:30.  Ted Buehler.  Bike touring in rural Ukraine\, 2016 and 
 2019.  I rode through the Carpathian Mountains\, visited the cities of 
 Lviv\, Odesa and Kyiv.  Rode trains from place to place.  Enjoyed the 
 chill pleasantness that was Ukrainian Culture pre-2022.  Photos\, maps\, 
 stories.

 Amtrak\, with a Brompton and trailer.  Maren took about 15 months in 2021 
 and 2022 to visit dozens of Intentional Communities and botanical 
 gardens\, from Portland to San Diego\, to Florida\, to Quebec\, to British
  Columbia.  Many adventures along the way\, on the backroads and highways 
 getting from Amtrak stations to outlying destinations.

 Wilson (and maybe Ben Foote) Vashon Island by bicycle\, train and ferry. 
 2022.  It's an easy starter bike tour -- Amtrak to Tacoma\, ride to the 
 ferry\, ride the length of Vashon Island (Seattle's greenest suburb in 
 many ways)\, then ferry to Seattle and Amtrak back to Portland.  \n\n8:00 
 Colleen Barclay.  Olympic Peninsula by bicycle.  2024.  Colleen is new to 
 Portland\, and bicycled the entire peninsula last year\, self supported.  
 But she is not new to the Pacific Northwest -- in 1978 she and a friend 
 did a similar self-supported bike tour up Vancouver Island\, then to 
 Prince Rupert by ferry\, and across the Canadian Rockies to the 
 prairies.\nshows start at 6:30\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-
