Rex for Metro

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a picture-perfect ride this afternoon. On the way through three cities and two counties, we saw a bald eagle presiding over Oaks Bottom, a sun-dappled Johnson Creek babbling through the Springwater Corridor, and spring flowers everywhere. And in excellent company!

Check out more pictures here, then consider shining a little sunshine of your own on Rex’s ride to make even more of Metro like what we saw today.

What’s it really like to ride with Rex? Find out with just a few mouse clicks in Episode 2 of “A Ride with Rex.”

On his way from the Rose Quarter to the Steel Bridge, Rex talks about what it takes to be a successful Metro President, the ingenuity of the Esplanade project, and what it was like to be one of just 15 bikers traversing Portland’s bridges.

“I feel very much the duty and responsibility to make sure that every penny we spend is spent wisely, and for the things that people care about, and that what we do makes lives better for everybody in the region.”
