Come out to Forest Park for some mt. biking (and running afterwards if you like). We have a few route choices and decide based on group vote, including single track options and a lovely hike-a-bike hill. We'll ride for 1-2 hours and run for 30-60 minutes. Be prepared for this by bringing water/hydration and food/fuel you'll need, ID and a bike light/headlamp. Hope to see you!

Ever wonder what it feels like to be on the Amazing Race, but can't quit your day job? Then grab a friend, a map of downtown, your sneakers, and prepare for an exhilarating race around the Portland when High Trek Adventure comes to town on August 9th.

High Trek Adventure is a unique urban adventure game where brains beat brawn! Teams of 2 solve clever clues and face fun challenges all while navigating the urban jungle via foot or on public transportation! It's a scavenger hunt, with all the thrills of The Amazing Race, mixed in with Trivial Pursuit, throw in a mini road race and add a dash of cat-and-mouse. And voila! You've got High Trek Adventure!

There doesn't seem to be many races in the NW this year, so check out The Great Urban Race as a fun alternative. It is toned-down urban AR (without all the gear) traveling the country. Teams of two solve clues and complete challenges while navigating through the city using public transit. And you get to use all kinds of technology, including the internet and phoning friends for help.

It's a scavenger hunt, road race, and wandering party - all rolled into one heck of a fun day! Be sure to check out the "sample clues" on their website to get an idea of the fun this will be. http://www.greaturbanrace.com/index.html
