Join us Sunday October 4th as we ride through Washington County’s beautiful landscape, and all for a worthy cause.

This event harnesses the Portland area’s international spirit and focus on sustainability to support a local nonprofit that works to stimulate long-term, positive change in the developing world.

THE RIDE

Sun, Wind & Gears, presented by SolarWorld, is a 35 mile bike-borne odyssey of renewable energy and local natural gems.   All of this and more on October 4th!

• Join a rare tour of SolarWorld’s plant to learn how they harness the power of the sun
• Visit a college whose cafeteria uses garden-grown vegetables and onsite worm composting
• Experience the beauty of a 725 acre wildlife preserve nestled within Hillsboro

THE PARTNERS
