EVENT UPDATE: This event is cancelled due to an AQI higher than we feel comfortable with for this physically active event. Accessibility and community care are central to why we created this event, and that includes acknowledging that wildfire smoke and poor air quality can create significant health and access barriers. We hope to schedule — stay tuned!

Join Columbia Slough Watershed Council and FBC.PDX leaders Amanda and Hazel for a day of biking and birding! This event is a space for BIPOC, queer, neurodivergent participants and their allies to gather, ride, and bird together in community. The group will bike ~8 miles from Vanport to Smith and Bybee and back, exploring some of the most bird-rich habitat in the Portland area. All participants will also be entered to win a pair of Nocs binoculars and a guide book!

What to bring: Bring a bike, helmet, bike lock, water, binoculars, and your sense of adventure for this unique ride. Snacks will be available, as well as extra binoculars for folks to borrow.
Getting there: This event will start and end at 1809 N Broadacre Rd, Portland, OR 97217, a short ride from the Delta Park stop station. Free parking is available on site and/or at Delta Park stop.

Accessibility: The ride will be mostly paved with some gravel sections. This ride is best suited for intermediate riders. Participants can also expect to walk ~0.25 miles throughout the event. For more accessibility information
