    Loop Ride is a loop

    Invasive bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) were originally imported as a food source to Oregon but escaped. They are now wreaking havoc in our waterways. My goal is to teach you how to identify, capture, humanely dispose of, and eat this baddy. We will ride out from Beaverton TC to a local waterways at a somewhat fast pace. I will give a brief introduction, lesson on identification, and we will bike around to ponds and waterways where you can find these critters. The goal of this ride is to educate and spread awareness of invasive species while having fun and exploring! You can find specific regulations for this species on page 20 in the guide from ORFW: https://www.eregulations.com/assets/docs/guides/23ORFW.pdf Here's a neat bullfrog hunting video from ORFW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZHX4oa19UA All friendly persons welcome!
