Bike to Reunite: A Scavenger Hunt on Wheels
June 13, 2007
The Pangaea Project is a leadership development program that empowers low-income youth to become local community leaders with global perspectives. This year, 10 students have joined the program to study and work on housing and homelessness issues in Portland and in Ecuador. In Portland they will partner with and learn from leaders of Street Roots, Dignity Village and Sisters of the Road. In July, they will travel in Ecaudor from the mountains to the coast to the cities to the Amazon rainforest, where they will participate in community-service projects and meet with community leaders, government officials and inspiring change-makers.
It's a great project and here's a great way to be involved, while riding your bike. They are having a scavenger hunt bike ride on Saturday, June 16th. Registration is at 9:00am at the corner of NE MLK Jr. Blvd. and NE Graham, across from Venue Restaurant (formerly Billy Reed's).
Every rider must raise a minimum of $100 in donations in order to participate. The organizers suggesting asking around for $5 each from friends, coworkers and family. They have an online donation option which makes it easy for people to contribute.
The ride rounds out with presentations from the students and eating and drinking at County Cork in NE Portland.

Has anyone gone on this? Can I bring by 5 year old in a trailer or is it not a good ride for that?
