Event Description:
SO VERY PORTLAND
Cold, Windy, and Raining...a perfect day for a ride. Last year over 1,500 people braved the elements to tour the Rose City! Unfortunately(??), the weather did not cooperate - it was beautiful. This year we are keeping our fingers crossed for sideways rain, or maybe even a little sleet. Afterward, enjoy a finish line party of soul-warming, handmade CORN CHOWDER, VEGETARIAN CHILI, AND FOCACCIA. There are two route options, an 18-miles Urban Tour and a 40-mile Challenge Loop to Hillsboro.
URBAN TOUR
This fun-filled 18 miles begins with a great send-off at the SE Hawthorne Lucky Lab (coffee, donuts, drum corps), heads across the river to REI (chai and fresh fruit), then recrosses the river and up to the CCC (cocoa & cookies), over to Bike Gallery East (hot cider & bagels), then back to Lucky Lab for corn chowder, focacia bread, and vegetarian chili.
CHALLENGE LOOP
Follow the Urban course but after REI the real fun begins as the route winds through the magnificent West Hills along a great course to Hillsboro REI where a rewarding rest stop of hot chocolate, oatmeal, fruit, and cookies awaits. After that, the course heads back into Portland where riders can link back up with the Urban route for a full 40 miles and the rest of the pit stops,
or just head straight to the finish line party.
This ride is a benefit for the Community Cycling Center's bicycle programs for low-income youth and adults.
Helmets are required, even if that gets in the way of your costume!
