I'm postponing this tour until further notice due to lack of sign ups. I'm also fighting something and need to prepare for my Hot Springs Fork (of the Collawash River) trip tomorrow 6-16.

TGIF Bike Tours of Portland's Green Infrastructure is a series of NPSO tours helping folks appreciate Portland's sustainable stormwater facilities. This is the third tour. To start this tour we'll talk about the Willamette River -- the focus of so much of Portland's sustainable stormwater efforts. Then we'll see green walls and green roofs and rainwater art and porous pavement. We'll see a variety of stormwater planters and rain gardens--and talk about the difference between the two as well as the whole Tabor to the River project. Please review this Bureau of Environmental Services brochure first: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/article/461343 We'll only be doing from the (#14) Hawthorne Hostel to the (#21) 12th & Clay Green Street, but we'll also catch some newer installations installed since the brochure was printed. Please come with your tires fully pumped up and your bike well-tuned; dress in quick-drying layers and preferably a bright, highly visible outer layer. Wear a helmet and bring a well-equipped bike with front and rear lights, water bottle and lock. Bring money for dinner if you would like to have an inexpensive meal together afterward. Oh, and bring a name tag. My contact info will be in the question where I will expect you to give me yours. If you can't make it by 5:30, but want to come, please take my cell number and we'll let you know where you can catch up with us.
