"I still like to ride hard, but I prefer getting dropped on my own terms."
1. What is the goal/mission of Unpaved?
To provide a community umbrella for adventure riders who fall between the cracks of Portland's cycling scene. Picking up where Velodirt left off. We provide a route library and google group. We also organize events.
2. What is your backstory?
I am a musician who slid down the slippery slope of bike racing. Just like with music, I'm more of a composer than a performer, and enjoyed the process of route creation and exploration more than racing. I still like to ride hard, but I prefer getting dropped on my own terms.
3. What is your favorite cycling route in the NW and why?
I love riding in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. It is a huge resource and the unsung hero of the region.
