EVENT: RideOregonRide.com Launch event - October 21, 2009

You're Invited to the Ride Oregon Launch Event!

Travel Oregon, Cycle Oregon, Hopworks Urban Brewery and Substance invite you to join us for the official launch of the Ride Oregon website. There is no better way to celebrate cycling in Oregon (even in October!) than to go on a bike ride and toast with a bikey beer to celebrate the occasion, so join us!

When:  Wednesday, October 21, 2009 | 2:30-7:00pm

What:  

The event will kick off with presentations by Oregon’s cycling and tourism professionals showing how our state’s reputation as a cycling destination is growing, expanding the tourism industry and with it, our state’s economy. To be followed by a demonstration of features and content of RideOregonRide.com, already named a Communication Arts “web pick of the week.” Light refreshments will be served and coffee provided by Trailhead Coffee Roasters.

Next, we will Celebrate the Ride by hopping on our bikes and heading down to the East Bank Esplanade. The ride will be led by Portland Bicycle Tours and supported by Pedal Bike Tours and Cycle Oregon. Dress warm and bring your fenders, this is Oregon after all. The short ride will make its way to Hopworks Urban Brewery for the Ride Oregon reception.

From 4:30 to 7:00pm, join us at Hopworks Urban Brewery downstairs in the brewery at 2944 SE Powell Blvd, for the Ride Oregon reception and mixer. Light appetizers and refreshments will be provided as well as the chance to taste Hopwork's new Oregon Bike Beer. View the website and talk with committee and the team behind the creation of it.
