West (Portland, Oregon)
Rider types - A general mix of each. We have a racing team, but we
also have a large contingent that does not race (including me)
Ride description - length and terrain. We have pace groups, so
everyone can ride with a group that is about their speed.

Voted best bicycle club in Portland for the second year in a row.

Length & Average speed.

Terrain rarely used; it's pretty flat here.

Which would you say best describes the general membership of your Local
Bike Cub?

Enthusiastic, with many membvers attending rides, and many rides
planned.

with 400+ members, the club had the following stats in 2006:
375 official rides (yep, that's more than 1 a day)

1,885 official riders

5 riders per ride, average

128,411 total miles on club rides
