Meet 1:00pm, ride ~1:35pm
3:30 PM
End location: Last stop is near Peninsula Park
Ride length: 8-15 miles
Let's get on bikes and help feed our neighbors! Inspired by a similar ride in SE, after departing we'll make an early stop at Grocery Outlet in St Johns to stock up, then ride ~11 miles and visit 8-9 free pantry & fridge locations in North Portland, spanning from St Johns to Humboldt. PDX Free Fridge Map: https://sites.google.com/view/pdx-free-fridge The Plan: - Meet at Wonderwood Springs @1pm (they're helping neighbors out with free food during the SNAP lapse - let's show them some love!) - Head out to the bike racks on the corner @1:30pm - Depart ~1:35, stop at Grocery Outlet for shopping and loading up, then get back on the road around 2:00pm or so - From there we'll spend ~90 min navigating North Portland neighborhoods and unloading our goodies at free pantries and fridges along the way What to Bring: - Your bike and any carrying capacity you have - even if just a backpack (I have a cargo bike but hopefully we'll have more than I can carry!) - $20 or more for shopping, OR equivalent food (Things you'd like to eat if someone were helping you. Nothing opened or expired. Perishables are OK.) Plan is for this to be no-drop, moderate pace (~12-15mph). It's OK to break off along the way if you need to (or run out of food to pass out), just let someone know. Bonus Tip: the St Johns Farmers Market runs 9am-2pm at N Central & N Charleston, and is a great place to get lunch and fresh produce before the ride.
