Do you love shooting on film? 35mm, medium format, miniature, instant, you name it. This ride is to celebrate this once thought dead format. Dust off your old Pentax K1000, pump up the tires on your Miyata Triple Cross, and come along with us for a 10 to 15-ish mile cruise. We'll stop by several spots good for documenting on film. This is a casually paced ride with many stops, no one left behind . We'll start in SE within a mile of a MAX station. Ride not a loop. The idea of the ride is to head eastward roughly using the Springwater Corridor and making a stop on Powell Butte. There will be at least one climb to Powell Butte, and a few sections of dirt/gravel (esp. to Powell Butte.) Tires 32mm and wider should be fine, and you can always walk the dirt/steep sections if need be. There will be a pause mid-ride for food, most likely at a cart pod. Please note that an earlier listing of the ride said we are heading to St Johns and Blue Moon, which we are not doing anymore. There won't be a film/camera store stop. Also: it is perfectly OK to bring film/camera related things to share, trade, etc. In fact, it's ENCOURAGED! I'll be bringing some stuff I want to give away. And you can become a member of the Bikes and Film Cameras Club for the special ride-only price of $15. Don't worry, you don't have to be a member to ride. Don't have a camera? I have one easy to use 35mm point-and-shoot camera that I can let you borrow. There is a cost, however: $35 is to shoot one roll of color film--this cost covers the roll itself, plus the developing, scanning, printing, and shipping of prints and negatives to you. You can get additional rolls at the ride for $35 each. THERE IS ONLY ONE TICKET AVAILABLE FOR THIS, make sure you choose the right ticket in checkout! Limited to 24 participants, registration required.
