Come celebrate National Cheesecake Day/Golden Girls Day with a bike ride! We will observe the holiday a couple of days late so we don't have to swelter in the high 90s. Picture It: Portland 2021— A beautiful young group of Pedalpalooza riders leaves from Tropicale to embark on a journey to the new, fourth wave pandemic world. They laugh, they bike, they eat. They love, they hate, they eat. They dream, they hope, they eat. Every time you turn around, they eat. Bike and eat with us to celebrate this glorious day with GG-related festivities and surprises to boot! — Start point is Tropicale, 2337 NE Glisan St., Portland (which serves booze and food). Order ahead for pickup @ https://www.tropicale.co/menu See top of page. — Will bike from there to cheesecake pickup location: Petite Provence on Alberta. ETA 2:30p. Call to reserve a whole cheesecake in the morning the day of at (503) 284-6564, otherwise slices available to walk-in customers. https://www.provencepdx.com/pp-ne-alberta — Next stop is Fernhill Park for (team or individual) trivia contest and (individual) costume contest,* both with (token) prizes, ETA 3:30p. If you aren't big into biking but are big into The Girls, feel free to join just for the park portion. Fernhill Park has proper bathrooms. They might even be open so you can change into your costume. — *UPDATE 7/28* Since ride was rescheduled to earlier in the day, there will be time for a final stop at the Shady Pines food truck pod. — We will observe the Golden Rule and enjoy golden hour on the most Golden day of the year, together! Bring your mask if you're giving Tropicale or Petite Provence your money. The ride itself will be nice and flat and leisurely. It's about six miles. Not a loop. We will stay together and look out for one another. Possibly even offer each other dubious advice. It is, after all, the Golden way. In the unlikely event that there’s a hurricane a-coming, ride will be rescheduled so check back. *If you don't have a costume, gold attire is highly encouraged. Dress like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer.
