Tour de Lab
August 31, 2008
Tour de Lab is coming up on September 7th, and it proves to be a very hilly way to wind down the event season! There are two routes on this ride, a benefit for Dove Lewis, the non-profit animal emergency hospital. The two routes wind their way from Lucky Lab to Lucky Lab, while riders earn their doggie gear along the way: ears, tail and nose. At the finish line there's a big hot dog-making bar and participants all get a commemorative pint glass.
Both routes have climbing up to Multnomah Village in SW Portland. For the Puppy Dog route, it's a steady incline up Terwilliger. For the Big Dog (30-mile challenge) route, the course is a steep, steep climb through the gorgeous Riverview Cemetery. After that, for the Puppy Dogs it's pretty smooth sailing, but for the Big Dogs they'll climb Council Crest on their way to Lucky Lab NW! The route is along very quaint, tiny residential roads for most of the way - lovely and challenging all wrapped into one.
You can switch your route at the start line or any of the rest stops without penalty or shame - all for the love of Dove.
