Not surprised the Chris King video is a little weird…that's Riverview, a new
property for mountain biking (and about the only single track close to
downtown). It used to be owned by the adjoining cemetery, now it belong to the
city who are in consultation with user groups (including the local IMBA
affiliate) as to what to do with it. There's a couple of trails on it, but
there's a moratorium on building until the plan is set.
I've ridden it a few times; short but has potential. However, there's some
weird homeless encampments hidden in there, and I've come across a few spots
that left me wondering if it was an abandoned camp site or some sort of public
art project. Given that this is Portland, there's a strong possibility it was
both.
