RAPHA CONTINENTAL BICYCLE SHOW: Nossa Familia Coffee , 1319 NW Johnson Street Portland, OR 97209
6:00pm - 9:00pm
The Rapha Continental began in the US in 2007 as an antidote to the clinical aspects of road racing. It was conceived as a more creative expression of road riding, with the belief that you don’t need to pin a race number on to experience the pleasure that comes from tough rides. In documenting their experiences the riders of the Continental created an inspiring online journal of films, photography, ride maps and cue sheets. The full crew of North American riders will be in house, along with their handmade steel bicycles, photos and journals, to tell tales of discovery. Free to the public.

PARKS 2 PARKS EPIC NITE RIDE: Piccolo Park, SE 28th between SE Division & Clinton
7:30pm
Mellow ride from park to park all night long. Discover under-appreciated parks with plenty of play time at each- different parks every year. In past years we've had 30 people in one tree, a team of pandas playing frisbee, a cuddle party in a miniature park, saxophone along the bluffs, skinny-dipping in a heated pool, among other adventures.

This ride is not a loop, and it will go late. BYOB, hula hoops, blankets, and park gear. It's a slow-ass pace but often of epic length for those who stay til the end.

Douglas Adams says: Always remember your towel!

Riders ride against themselves, not others, and aim to complete the course within specified time limits. If you've been rando-curious this is a good chance to try out this fun and addictive style of riding. Choose to ride either a 50 km or 100 km route around Portland. Bring a helmet, repair kit, pump, spare tube, bike map, somewhere for a cue sheet, and a pencil to fill out your info card. No ride leader or SAG wagon but most of the area is served by Trimet.
