Ride is a loop
Ride length: 8-15 miles
This ride will tour public art and Public Works sites that mimic natural waterways, including the Oregon Convention Center rain garden and the downtown Open Space Sequence. It will be a relaxed paced ride (8-10 mph) along low-stress bikeways, with frequent stops to show off gems of Portland art, architecture and inspiration that represent our connection to the natural world, specifically rivers and streams. We will have experts from Portland Water Bureau, Bureau of Environmental Services and the Halprin Landscape Conservancy along to provide color commentary. This is a no-drop loop ride perfect for folks new to Portland, new to the bike or just getting back on their wheels. About 9 miles long round trip. Coffee, snacks and restroom available at the start location. Bring a friend because no one is left behind! And bring appropriate clothing - current forecast is cloudy, but you know Portland weather. Free and open to everyone. We have some free BIKETOWN codes (credit to ride for free) available specifically for this ride! To receive a BIKETOWN code, email Timo Forsberg at timo.forsberg@portlandoregon.gov .
