Ride Report: Cycle the Well Field

(reported by Randy)

Twenty five cyclists turned out on a cloudy Saturday morning to ride 16 miles on a combination of bike paths, bike lanes and shared roadway in the City's well head protection area, including segments of the I-205 and Marine Drive bike paths, and Airport Way. The ride started and ended at the TriMet Parkrose-Sumner transfer center and so was accessible via the MAX redline train and several bus lines. Snacks and drinks were provided at Metro's Blue Lake Park, and participants learned about the City's well field, groundwater protection program, and the Columbia Slough watershed at several stops along the way. Several showers dampened the ride, but the heavy rain held off until after the ride was over.
