Gather 12:30pm, Ride 1:00pm
End location: S. Bond Ave by the western terminus of the Tilikum Bridge
Ride length: 15+ miles
A nearly-30-mile ride through nearly every street in downtown Portland. A ride that is equal parts: 1) “get to know the neighborhood”, 2) “whose streets, our streets”, and 3) “let’s do something stupid”. Gather at the Japanese American Historical Plaza on the waterfront, ride the north-south streets, pause at Bill Naito Fountain, continue with the east-west streets, finish by the Tilikum Crossing. The ride leader will be equipped with basic bike repair, a first aid kit, sunscreen, and a few light snacks to share. We will prioritize ride flow over strict traffic law observation, and general safety over either. There will be a few short steps to climb at a couple of points. Minor adjustments to the route may be considered impromptu depending on ride composition. Sunday, June 19, meet at 12:30pm, ride at 1:00pm.
