Sunday, August 10
The 13th annual Providence Bridge Pedal will be held on Sunday, August 10 2008. Join us for your annual opportunity to bike over Portland's Willamette River bridges, including the top decks of the Fremont and Marquam bridges.
Earlier this year Portland received platinum designation to recognize the city's efforts to accommodate Portland cyclists. Portland is the only major city in the country to receive the highest rating by the League of American Bicyclists. Come join the celebration.
Changes for 2008
- More room on the road, including two full lanes for biking on the Ross Island Bridge
- Adjusted start times to avoid any merging of multiple cyclist groups
- A more challenging ride. Riders wanting ride that is a little long and more challenging can sign up for the 11-bridge ride starting on the east end of the Fremont Bridge.
- The 6-bridge Family ride has a new family-friendly registration fee: four riders for $50.
Providence Heart and Vascular Institute:
A Leader in Prompt Lifesaving Treatment of Heart Attacks
A portion of Providence Bridge Pedal proceeds will assist Providence Heart and Vascular Institute’s efforts to save the lives of people suffering heart attacks or other cardiac events. Last year, Providence Heart and Vascular donated six AED’s to the Portland Community. An AED is a portable device used to restore normal heart rhythm to persons in cardiac arrest.
