We will ride. I will bring a prompt to help us get into the creative flow. Then let's fill our senses with the wind, the trees, the colors, and the feeling of our legs spinning as we cruise bike routes and paths to the Sellwood Riverfront Park. We will write. We will round off our time together sitting in the late afternoon glow, enjoying the sights, sounds, and feels of the wide, rippling Willamette. Then we will write whatever comes to us.
