Ride is a loop
End location: It's pretty easy to end your ride at Stop #3 (Mikiko Mochi Donuts) and return back to the starting point after just a few miles of riding
The first Friday of every June is National Donut Day! What better way to kick off the summer of Pedalpalooza?! Join Bill, your ride leader and fellow donut lover, for a tour of a variety of Portland donut shops. In the interest of time and keeping the route as low traffic as possible, our donut exploration will be confined to the east side. This ride is meant to be fun. We'll cruise at a relatively casual 12 to 14 MPH pace and talk about donuts the entire time (or anything else, really). :) Some of this ride will take place with limited bike lane spacing. Please ride single file when appropriate and follow ride leader requests. This means we will also yield to traffic at some intersections where some experienced riders might be accustomed to riding on through. Experienced riders are welcomed/encouraged to assist the ride leader to shepherd the group through any busy or high traffic intersections. We will plan to spend 10 to 20 minutes per stop, but that can be more or less depending on the group's interest in that stop and/or wait periods to get donuts. This ride could typically be finished in about an hour or so, but given the number of stops and the number of donuts we absolutely MUST consume, I'm estimating 2.5 to 3 hours for the full ride., depending on the pace of the group and time at each stop. The group is welcome to agree to skip stops, as well. Noted below, if you want the quick and easy version of this ride, it is a quick return to the start if you head back after stop #3. Link to the planned route on RideWithGPS: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43098198 Shops to be visited in order on ride: 1) Delicious Donuts 2) Voodoo Donuts NE 3) Mikiko Mochi Donuts (All Mochi) 4) Doe Donuts (All Vegan) 5) Angel's Donuts & Ice Cream 6) Helen Bernhard Bakery (Optional stop if the group isn't burned out yet) You'll be buying all your own donuts, there are no free donuts on this ride. The shops do not know we are coming, so there may be lines and certainly will be other patrons at each shop.
