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

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. •

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

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. Dennis in PDX On Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 9:14:47 AM UTC-7,
