PDX Unity Ride
Wed, Jul 5, 2023, 7:30 PM
Ride around 8 p.m.
End location: Poet's Beach
Remember when Portland was covered in 10 inches in snow? We sure do. It won't be that way Wednesday, though. But if you need to get out of the house, join us for a short, 5.6 mile ride that ends at the Willamette River. We'll start at Irving Park, meeting around 7:30. Meet at the top of the hill. We'll roll out at around 8 and make a quick store stop at the New Seasons on N. Williams and Fremont for snacks and drinks. From there, we'll head down to Poet's Beach on the Willamette to chill and splash in the water, if you're into that. (Note bene: No lifeguard is on duty at Poet's Beach, and your ride leader can't swim. You enter the water at your own risk!) We're leaving a little later than usual so it can cool down a bit more before we roll out. The route is almost entirely downhill, so it shouldn't be super strenuous. We'll also go at a nice, easy pace and take some water breaks along the way. The beach itself is not super accessible by bike, but there is ample bike parking nearby. Bring your lock. Bring water and dress appropriately. If you plan to take a dip in the river, be sure to bring a towel and swimwear. We'll have some water and fizzy drinks to share. --------- PDX Unity Ride is a queer- and trans-friendly cycling collective that's working to build community through a shared love of cycling.
