8:30pm, Ride leaves at 9:03pmAfter the longest day of the year, comes the shortest night of the year. Let's spend it on our bikes!
We leave when the sun sets at 9:03pm, and arrive at a mystery location by 5:22am to see the sunrise.
There will be rest stops, and there will be hills, so bring a comfortable bike that you can climb with. This is not a fast-paced ride. We will stay within city limits (no, we won't abandon you in Troutdale :) )
Come early at 8:30pm to gather snacks and drinks at People's Food Co-op, and please don't litter.

YOU KNOW, A PRETTY GOOD RIDE
-
11:30am - 2:30pm, duration is wiggly.Remember "A Nice Long Ride" from last year? We left a little too early, but I promise you (Roger!) that we won't leave early this year. Starts from the delightful CityBikes at their Annex location (SE 8th and SE Ankeny), and will end somewhere else. Essentially a loop. Probably around 30 miles.
Just like last year, it's not about the speed and it's not about hills, "epic" or otherwise. The pace will be semi-moderate but when someone has an issue, we all stop, take care of it, and then thank our lobster overlords for not annihilating us yet. You know.
let's all be this guy! aaahahahaha
