[RBW] Re: Visting Portland
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who chimed in here. We got back a couple days ago and had a great time. We hit a bunch of the places that you guys recommended. Mt Tabor was very cool and super easy to ride to, we didn't do any longer rides, we were in a relaxing mood. Food and beverage was our main recreation. Hair of the dog brewery was my favorite and Kennedy school was pretty cool too. Rivelo was super cool, John is a really nice guy. Make sure to stop in if you're in the area. Spent the entire time on our bikes enjoying a great town with great weather. Couldn't ask for much more. Thanks again!

If beers are what you want, then there are some great options not far from Rivelo, in the SE quadrant: • Hair of the Dog is at SE Water Yamhill, maybe a mile due north of Rivelo. Strangely I've never been, but great beers. BIG beers though, so if you have more riding to do then be careful. • The Commons Brewery has a new tasting room at SE 7th Belmont. Their Belgian- and Euro-Inspired beers are a refreshing change from the hop-heavy IPAs found elsewhere (though I love those too). Highly recommend. • Just a few blocks East is the Cascade Barrel House (sour beers) and Green Dragon (owned by Rogue, but with 50+ rotating taps, mostly not Rogue). Both have good outdoor seating if weather is good. • Head north of here for Base Camp Brewing, south for Lucky Lab, even further south to Division St. for Apex Beer bar (actally almost due East from Rivelo). Great outdoor seating at all three. • If you do plan to visit Mt. Tabor then you could take the Salmon St. bike boulevard most of the way from Central Eastside. Much nicer route than any of the busy streets with bike lanes. • Along the way to or from Tabor I'd suggest a stop at The Horse Brass Pub, a real Portland institution. 50+ taps, knowledgeable staff.

They have an ungodly assortment on tap. http://www.shift2bikes.org/cal/viewpp2015.php I second the Pedalpalooza and Leif Erickson recommendation, though for Leif, I'd enter it via the NW Thurman trailhead on the south end of the park. The first 1 1/2 or so miles is really rough, which isn't so bad when you're climbing, but for descending...well, I guess it's a good check to see if there are any loose parts on your bike and/or loose fillings in your mouth! And if you go south-north, you get a beautiful mile descent on paved Germantown Road, then you can cross over the Willamette River via St. Johns Bridge. Occidental Brewing is located just under the bridge on the St. Johns side. Someone above mentioned Mt. Tabor. I'd also recommend hitting up two of the other eastside volcanic buttes: Rocky Butte for its view and Powell Butte for its natural splendor (and view!)

[RBW] Re: Visting Portland
I'd suggest riding the Springwater MUP, maybe hit the Rail Road Museum close to the end of the Northern end of the Springwater. Another stop is OMSI also off the Springwater and I personally think Forest Park is a must! Maybe climb Tabor. And I love riding to Cartlandia in SE. So many things to do, hopefully some locals will chime in. Have a wonderful time.

Hey Kurt, Check out the rides at the Portland Wheelman site (PWTC.com). They offer rides every day of the week that go all over PDX at various paces. You'll get a good sense of the area and they almost always include a coffee stop.
