1st annual Pi Ride Come join us as we circle around Portland on a Maths Pi ride. Bring your bicycle, e-bike, scooter, skateboard, roller skates, — whatever wheels you have! We will explore the edges, lines and curves of the city as we experience riding our bicycles along the waterfront up curvy ramps and orbicular paths. This “numerical pi advocacy ride" will include: * some recreational math games (chalk or paper provided for games) * a brief history of Pi and we will talk about how important Pi is for our banking and security systems. On one stop there will be an opportunity to write out as many digits of Pi as you can. You bet, there will even be awards given out for those who give it a try! We will start at the Portland Opera House. The ride will be about 3.14 miles along the waterfront. Easy to moderate, we will keep a meandering pace on this No-Drop, curvilinear ride— a circular ride as we will end where we began For anyone interested , after the ride your hosts, Michael and Naomi, will be heading for a delicious Pi-licious Pizza slice (location tbd). What to bring: * If you have it— Your nerdiest MATH themed attire. * cash for if you decide to join us for pizza Free on-street parking available if you are driving to the start location.
