It's summer and the weather is gorgeous right now - in other words, the perfect time of year to crush some hills! Join Ride Westside as we lead a ride from Beaverton Central to tackle two of the highest points in the PDX metro - the summits of Pittock Mansion and Council Crest! We'll grab a breather at the top of both locations, fill up our water bottles, grab some pictures, and then loop back to Beaverton Central, finishing up at BG's for a well-deserved lunch and beverage. This ride will be significantly more challenging than most of Ride Westside's group rides. The proposed route will take us over 20 miles and 2,000 feet of total elevation gain. Climbs will vary anywhere from 3-7% on average, with some short segments (~200 feet) around 10%. The descent from Pittock Mansion is also quite steep with switchbacks and gradients of -10% in some places. There will also be short segments that will require taking the lane on windy ascending roads where cars may not easily be able to pass the group. Please note that this is *not* strictly a no-drop ride. We will do our best to adjust the pace as required to accommodate the group, but the goal will be to finish the route in 2.5 to 3 hours - arrive at BGs by 12 pm at latest. We will need to keep an overall 10 mph average pace (slower when climbing and faster when descending) while also factoring in breaks at the summits. Please consider your own abilities, limitations, and comfort level with sustained climbs before the ride and have a backup plan to get back home in case you need to turn around. We also want to emphasize that your bike should be in good working order for this ride. The descent from Pittock Mansion in particular is pretty steep, so make sure your brakes are in good shape. E-bike riders are certainly welcome, but please factor in the risk of your motor overheating over the sustained climbs - know what your bike is capable of and have a backup plan in the event of a motor overheat before you join this ride. Bring plenty of snacks, water, and sunscreen! Lastly, please note that this ride is subject to rescheduling depending on the weather conditions. If we get rain and the pavement is wet, we'll have to reschedule to avoid the risk of wiping out on those steep descents from Pittock Mansion. Hope to see you all there! Look forward to the incredible views and a well-deserved sense of accomplishment after we finish this ride. Proposed route (subject to change): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54568652

Welcome to Mellow Mondays 2026. Are you interested in leading a ride? This is a supportive and organized way to lead for the first time. Every week there’s different themes but there are constants…. Slow pace, about 8 mph, Distance varies but approx 10 miles, Family friendly, We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides, Store stop for safe clean bathroom access but generally we try and make these stops short, Skater friendly (but please check with ride leader about crunchy or potential issues for skates), ALL Wheels friendly (scooter, skates, skateboard, e bikes etc), Ride is always a loop, Corking and traffic intersections are calm. Be mindful of smoking around others and do not smoke around children. FAQ, Can I bring a speaker? Yes but please speak to the ride leader and play the music they’ve carefully selected or what their preference is. Can I lead a ride? Yes, please attend a few first and get a feel for how the rides are. I’ve heard NakedHearts supports other rides? Yes, we can help with planning, encouragement, promotion, sound support and what not. What do you mean you practice consent? We ask everyone (even friends, relatives, husbands and wives with each other) to ask for permission before touching anyone else or their belongings and when asking to seek listen and empower ‘No’. What do you mean you practice Non-violence? We specifically expect everyone to be calm, kind and respectful with all car interactions. One riders aggression to a car driver can put everyone else at risk. We live in a small city and are bound to encounter the same drivers again. Are all your rides a protest? Yes, being together with respect and acceptance and finding comfort and joy around others and strangers is an act of protest against the divisive paradigm we are in.

All electric rides welcome: e-bikes, Surrons, Onewheels, scooters, electric unicycles, whatever you've got with a motor or a battery. We're mobbing around Portland, exploring the city with cool views. The route is pre-planned, so just show up and ride. Night ends at Tabor Dance. Meet at the Salmon Street Springs fountain at 5:30 pm, ride at 6:00 pm

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, rolling out from Salmon Street Springs every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic, party-paced social ride with warmth and weirdness from our welcoming “rolling dive bar” regulars. Most rides feature regularly spaced park and store stops, generally leading to a lively end spot around 11 PM. Come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. Strong Thursday traditions, stronger shared expectations. While you might see some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct. If you’ve been asked not to attend *any* Shift rides, you are not welcome at TNR—that’s not up for debate on our ride. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. TNR works best when everyone helps set the tone and shares responsibility. Look out for each other, welcome new riders and help them find the next stop, leave it better than you found it, give people space when they need it, and help keep the ride moving forward together by practicing Consent, Accountability, Respect, and De-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements after 7:30, leave after “Beer Minutes.” 🕢 If you’re not at the fountain by 7:30, you may want to meet us at the next stop. 🧭 Live Location: https://ridewithgps.com/users/1303039/live_log

Thursday Night Ride

⛲️ If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to get involved, come early and ask for the ride leader—we’ll see you at the fountain!

Friday night ride is a social ride for people who enjoy a sporty pace and adventurous routes. Every ride is different but generally range between 15 and 25 miles and you can expect some climbing and higher speeds than your average pedalpalooza ride. NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE. Riders should be self sufficient and have a plan for getting themselves home. This is a bicycle-forward group ride. Pedal-assist ebikes are ok (class 1 & 2). Throttle heavy, high speed battery powered motor bikes are not (class 3 & 4). If you're not pedaling it’s not a bicycle and you will asked to leave. Bring lights/locks/responsible vibes/a cup/ Casual pace with some extra zip 10-20ish mile rides with store stops/park stops/art stops NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Be careful of slippery roads/leafs on ground/pot holes. Call out road hazards to help bike friends stay safe. 2nd Fridays are MMR - later night vibes to make it to Midnight Mystery Ride. If you want to lead a ride just ask! REPEAT… NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Guest ride leaders wanted and appreciated! Instagram @fridaynightride

Can you believe Bike Summer is almost here already? If you’re planning to lead a ride this summer, you’re welcome to join us for an interactive workshop on planning a route for a group ride and leading your group along the way. “Interactive,” you say? Yes! In lieu of a sit-down session, we’ll ride a route from an actual ride that your ride leader has led and pick it apart. We’ll explain some of the thinking behind the routing decisions — and even point out things we could have done better! You’ll even have a chance to co-lead a portion of the route so you can get a feel for what it’s like to be at the front of the group. We’ll be focusing primarily on route planning, but we’ll touch on some other stuff, too. If you’re leading a ride with us this summer, we’d love to see you, but it is not required by any means. Come with your questions, meet fellow ride leaders, share ideas, make new friends! This is an actual ride, so bring your bike! We’ll meet at Irving around 2:30 and start promptly at 3. Route will have a store stop. We hope you can make it!
