The National Bicycle Greenway (NBG) needs a cyclist
(multiple riders OK) to get the Friday May 14 Seattle NBG
Day proclamation down to Portland City Hall for Portland
NBG Day on Monday May 17. Both events take place at noon
and the Cascade Bike Club can supply routing information
for this 172 mile connection. You can be a part of both
ceremonies both of which usually result in media attention
or you can just make it a weekend ride and pick the
Seattle's document up anytime after 2PM on Friday from
Angle Lake Cyclery and deliver it any time before 10AM on
Monday May 17 at Coventry Cycle Works in downtown
Portland. To find out more about the NBG go to
