Pacific Northwest / Re: Portland Local Riding

Thanks for those links, adventurepdx! The links are very helpful; I've never heard of these groups before. I've checked Meetup frequently, but I agree with Biggus Duckus--there isn't much activity there. Yes, I'm relatively new to Portland. I moved here 1.5 years ago from Salt Lake City. I'm planning to bicycle the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route this July and also need to get in shape. It would be great to meet and ride with other fellow bicycling adventurers. I'm working on my terminal project for grad school this spring, so my schedule will be little packed until June, but I'm willing to organize some rides. Meetup.com seems like it would be an ideal venue to organize rides, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Pacific Northwest / Portland Local Riding

Would anyone be interested in connecting in Portland to do occasional long (and fun) rides together (I'm thinking with loaded bikes), either for the day or maybe an overnight (i.e. Banks-Vernonia Trail)? I am a 43-year old female, am an experienced cyclist/backpacker, and average a slow and easy 10 mph on pavement with loaded panniers.
