CONTACT:Al S.
DESCRIPTION:Sign up sheet posted - see description\n2nd Annual Pickleball 
 Ride\n\nBring your best self and your most creative trash talk\, big 
 swings\, even bigger misses\, smiles\, and high-fives.\n\nWe can fit a max
  of 16 people onto 4 courts. Please sign up here and let me know if you 
 can bring some of the listed items:\n  
 https://tinyurl.com/PPDXpickleball\n\nLast year we started by getting 
 playing at Mount Tabor tennis courts under daylight\, then rode to 
 Laurelhurst and had lots of fun playing in the dark with portable lighting
  set up.\n\nWe’ll do the same this year\, except we’ll add a twist to the 
 daylight session: Crazy Rules!\nI have a list of rules\, and we’ll 
 introduce a rule every 10 minutes\; this way everyone gets to play a bit 
 and get used to the rule before learning the next one.\n\nExamples:\n- The
  “no volley zone” (NVZ)\, also known as the “kitchen\,” is still NVZ if 
 you use your normal paddle\, buuut … if you use a kitchen utensil or 
 frying pan\, you CAN volley in the kitchen. Using a cookie sheet is highly
  encouraged\, and is worth 2 points if you hit a winning drop shot while 
 yelling\, “Baker’s Dozen!” Do you know how loud it gets when a cookie 
 sheet hits a pickleball? I don’t\, and can’t wait to find out.\n- Bicycles
  form the net. If you “call it”\, then hit a basket\, handlebars\, or bike
  seat with the ball\, your team wins the point outright\; if you hit a 
 ball into a basket and it stays in\, that makes it a basket ball\, hence 2
  points.\n- “Body parts rules” - you’ll need to show up to find out what 
 these two hilarious rules are. What happens on the pickleball court … 
 stays on the court.\n- And other rules for max silliness and lots of 
 laughs.\n\nI’ll bring line markers\, a few paddles\, and pickleballs like 
 last year\, but pls bring your own paddle if you have one.\n\nEven better:
  please bring KITCHEN utensils\, cookie sheets\, pots\, and pans that can 
 withstand pickleball hits.\n\nPlease show up early to help set up our 
 courts (I can’t set up everything quickly enough by myself). I’ll be at 
 the courts at about 6 pm. Thanks to everyone who helped last year!\n\nAt 
 Tabor we’ll start packing up a bit before sundown\, then ride to 
 Laurelhurst and set up glow-in-the-dark courts. We should have two 
 portable nets for the two “lines only” courts\, plus the two courts that 
 have permanent nets.\n\nNighttime play will follow normal pickleball 
 rules.\n\nFor visibility\, I’ll have lots of lights like last year: LED 
 paddles\, LED pickleballs\, glow bracelets\, EL wire to mark the net\, UV 
 reactive tape and UV lamps to make court lines glow\, and other lights 
 including a few disco lights.\n\nAnd probably some music\, yeah 
 music.\nMeet at 6\, play at 6:45\, ride\, play again\nEnds at Laurelhurst
