SUMMARY:New to Portland Ride: Intro to Gravel
CONTACT:PBOT Portland By Cycle
DESCRIPTION:Are you new to town\, or new to gravel biking? Want to explore
  one of the best off-road paths in the city? Then join our New to Portland
  Intro to Gravel ride on Tuesday\, August 18 from 5-8 p.m.!\n\nThe ride: 
 We will gather at Cyclepath PDX (2714 NW Thurman St) at 5:00 p.m. and head
  out promptly at 5:30 p.m. Cyclepath PDX will provide a shuttle to the top
  of the Leif Erikson trail. The group will ride back to the shop on 
 Thurman Street along Leif Erikson trail. Leif Erikson is a double-track 
 gravel roadbed open to bikes but not cars. The total length of the ride 
 will be 11.5 miles.\n\nWho this is for: Everyone! The ride is designed 
 with beginners in mind\, so no off-road experience is necessary. This is a
  great place to see what the off-road hype is all about and make some 
 friends all while enjoying a pleasant\, light ride.\n\nThe gear: Please 
 come prepared with an off-road ready bike in safe\, working condition. 
 This means the tires are a little wider (we recommend a minimum of 32mm 
 wide)\, ideally you've got some gears\, and suspension (shocks) are useful
  but not required. Be sure to bring a helmet\, water bottle\, snacks\, 
 fanny pack or bike bag\, and weather-specific clothing that can get 
 sweaty.\n\nThe plan: We will gather at Cyclepath West bike shop at 5 p.m. 
 and head out on the shuttle by 5:30 p.m. Afterwards\, join us for a hang 
 session including light snacks and good company.\n\nRSVP: This event is 
 free but space is limited. RSVP here to join the ride:
