They did an exhibition race there a few weeks ago as a fundraiser. Much fun
was had (and I got my yearly dose of heckling from Ron Strasser).

Here's the general idea: http://bikeportland.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/gg.jpg

They are currently in fundraising mode. No clue when ground will be broken. Will likely be a few years away.

There is an area off of 1-205 and Mall 205 called the Greenway area or something. It is a large chunk of land. It has been discussed as a mountain bike area. It would be cool to have a permanent cross area in Portland/Vancouver. A guy could do some loops for fitness and fun. Does anyone know where this project stands? I believe a race was done here earlier?

There is an area off of 1-205 and Mall 205 called the Greenway area or something. It is a large chunk of land. It has been discussed as a mountain bike area. It would be cool to have a permanent cross area in Portland/Vancouver. A guy could do some loops for fitness and fun. Does anyone know where this project stands? I believe a race was done here earlier?
