Washington County Road Rides
Within Portland Velo Cycling Club, the mantra, “It’s all about the ride!” guarantees no surprises for long time members as well as guests. Founded in 2006 and now nearly 400 members strong, Portland Velo offers a variety of weekly rides throughout the Portland metro area. Our “Saturday Signature Ride”, the largest of it’s kind in the NW, starts in Hillsboro, OR and rolls up and over, around and through the wonderful roads of western Washington County. With a club map data base well in excess of 50 routes, riders are guaranteed a different route each and every Saturday. Our Tuesday/Thursday rides depart from NE Portland and venture into and through Vancouver, WA as well as rides out into the spectacular Columbia River Gorge on the Oregon side of the Mighty Columbia River. Club rides vary in length from 35-60+ miles in length with each ride separating into designated “speed groups” lead by a qualified member of the Portland Velo Ride Leader Team. Each group reflects a different ride intensity as well as ride experience. It’s simple, choose the group that sounds closest to your ride style/experience and fitness level and “leave the leading to us…”. To learn more about Portland Velo:
