I'm riding a bicycle 200 miles from Seattle to Portland with 11 other SIORs on October 15th and 16th to benefit the SIOR Foundation.

SIOR stands for "Society of Industrial and Office Realtors", and its members are the best of the best in our industry. The SIOR Foundation is SIOR's non-profit that gives back by funding scholarships for the next generation of commercial real estate professionals, educational programs, and critical research projects.

You can find out more about the SIOR Foundation at www.foundation.sior.com.

This is a two-day event in which bicycle riders can participate by riding and fundraising to benefit The SIOR Foundation. The ride will start in Seattle, WA on Monday, October 14th, 2019 and arrive in Portland OR late in the day on October 15th. Just in time to participate in SIOR FWC 2019.
