CEDAR MILERS VOLKSSPORT CLUB

We have 12 Year Round Events in the Beaverton Hillsboro area. CAN YOU WALK ALL 12 IN 2012? We're putting together the challenge cards right now and deciding on the award for meeting our challenge. Input is welcome.
We'll make this challenge really simple. At the first Cedar Miler YRE you do, pick up a free challenge card from the box at the start point. When you finish all 12 walks, regardless of when in 2012, you've done them, drop off the completed challenge card in the box at the 12th walk start point. Can't make it much easier than that! Enjoy our walks!

Wow, I can't believe it's November already and I am so far behind on keeping visitors up to date on Cedar Miler activities. Today, we hosted the Wednesday Walkers. ABout 40 people showed up to walk, 30 in the 10K group, 6 in the "fast" 5K group and that many or more in the "slow" 5K group. We did our Hidden Pathways of Beaverton walk...downtown, through multiple neighborhood pathways, back to the downtown area. The group started at Cedar Hills Crossing. Next Saturday, Nov 19th, we are hosting a another group walk, this time, Commonwealth Lake. Everyone is invited!

Once again, we had awesome weather for walking as we strolled around Forest Grove last evening. We had a great turnout as well with 15 walkers!
Remember, next Monday, Aug 15th, is our last Monday night walk for the year. We will be doing the Downtown Portland walk from Good Sam Hospital at Lovejoy and 22nd, Meet in the lobby are

Will have the registration materials at the park, no need for everyone to go to the residence where they are kept. Show up at the Cooper Mountain Nature Park ready to depart on the walk at 6:30 sharp. Park closes at dusk so we need to get underway promptly!

A force of 10 tonight as we took Porltand's 4T route from the Oregon Zoo. Photos are on our facebook page (from your facebook page, type in Cedar Milers Volkssports Club and you'll find us). This route took us across the overpass of the Sunset Highway and onto the Marquam Trail which links up to the entrance to Council Crest park. Great place to view the city and the southern valley! Then it was back to continue on the Marquam Trail, then through residential streets along the homes up in the Portland hillside. We arrived at OHSU just in time to catch the Tram down to the South Waterfront. Neat ride with great views. We then walked to the nearby intersection to ride on the Trolley (Portland streetcar) to downtown Portland. From there we caught the Train (Portland's MAX) back to the Zoo. 

Hey! It's time for our summer series of Monday evening group walks! We started this effort last summer and had a great time with it...what a nice time of the evening to take a walk! Tonight's walk (May 23rd) starts at 6:30PM at the West Coast Fitness Center and Video Store in the St Johns area of Portland. The walk goes through the beautiful University of Portland campus, then meanders past several historical buildings and sites in the St Johns area. Check the calendar page for the address and details! Bring friends!!! 

Our next meeting will be May 9th at the Cedar Mill Library, 6:30PM. We will be planning our Monday night walk schedule so come with your favorite YREs or a few suggestions for sanctioning 2 or 3 of these as group walks. We do need and want your input!
For our Weight Watcher friends: Are you doing a Walk-It event this year? Will joining us on a Monday Night Stroll work? We need to hear from you!!!!!

We also need to plan our fall event, date, place and all the details!!!! 

All is tallied, reported, donated, and wrapped up for this year's St Patty's Day walk and Teddy Bear Collection. We had 159 walkers on a wet, windy, sunny, pleasant, cold, mild day (take your pick, it was all of those at one time or another!). We collected 297 teddy bears (and a few more, number unknown) were added to the pile a bit later. A photo of the bears is posted on our Facebook page.

Thanks to all who worked and helped protect the supplies from almost horizontal rain in the late afternoon. We sincerely appreciate everyone's efforts!
