BIKE TO SUNDAY PARKWAYS & MUCH ADOE ABOUT NOTHING Link
Oregon Park, 2950 NE Oregon St, Portland Take Trimet (Look for MIPL sign)
10:45am - 4:45pm
Join cyclists from the MEETinPortland social group for a casual-pace bike ride from Oregon Park to Fernhill Park to see a free production of "Much Adoe About Nothing" performed by the Original Practice Shakespeare Festival. Helmets required. One significant hill. Bring snack or picnic item to share & blanket for seating during play.

OES performs without memorized scripts, with the actors preparing their roles (rolled cue scripts) on their own and choreographing and minimally rehearsing the day of the performance. The idea is to create performance conditions similar to Shakespeare's day.

After a year off, the PPP returns for its SEVENTH season!  A casual bicycle ride traversing approx. 3-5 miles (5-8km) with a different route/end each time. The end destination is a mystery "park" or park-like destination. (Expect the unexpected!) At the endpoint we'll enjoy a picnic dinner. Eating will be potluck style, so please bring interesting food and drink to share (preferably vegetarian/vegan). Bring lights! Please bring your own silverware, plate, and cup. If it looks like it'll rain we'll end up at a COVERED destination.

Starting Jan 2012, Vegan Dinner Bike Ride turns to Vegan Brunch Bike Ride for the winter and changes its name to VeloVegan Ride! We meet at 10:30am and leave at 10:45am, 1st Saturdays, to ride to a mystery location, of the groups choice, to chow down on some yummy vegan food at a vegan-friendly restaurant.  You don't have to be vegan to join us, but please do not bring any meat to our tables.  Please follow the Facebook Page for ride updates, which is easier to get the word out faster. Ride is kid-friendly & easy pace.
