Mallets, balls, and minor first aid are supplied by the Bastards. Bring your own unicycle - any unicycle will do. Bring your own discrete adult beverages and your own antibiotic ointment (heh, I said ointment).
We also like attention - come and watch if you can't ride but are uni-curious.
Prepare to sweat/swear like a Bastard. Also, unicycles - not bikes.

- GET LOST!
6:00pm, 2 hours, give or takeA ride led entirely by chance. Dice are rolled to determine how many blocks to ride, and which direction to turn once we get there (Odd total =R, Even =L).
You never know what to expect. Since we won't be taking designated bike routes riders should be pretty comfortable in semi-hairy conditions, but dangerous or illegal routes will not be traveled.
Probably not a loop, but that's what we said the first year, and we (eerily) ended up in the exact place we started! Read about that year's ride here: http://bit.ly/eDaPZW

- Peninsula Park, 700 N Rosa Parks Way11:45am, 11:45 gather 12:15 ride. (Circle of oaks plus a douglas fir next to the octagonal picnic shelter)Tai Chi is a powerful daily practice to keep your bike's engine running smooth. Muscle powered transportation is great, but it takes a bit of complimentary exercise to keep your body tuned to ride. Tai chi also cultivates better presence and mindfulness making crashes less likely to occur. This ride will have multiple stops where I'll talk about and lead exercises that introduce the basic foundations of Tai Chi and how it applies to cycling. At the last stop I'll demonstrate a version of Sun Tai Chi form. Feel free to follow along.

This ride follows the routes of several highways that never made it off the drawing board, such as the fabled Mt.

We'll see the parallels of the past freeway fights with what's going on with the current Columbia River Crossing project. Approx 13 miles of riding through moderate traffic.

SKATEBOARD BAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING
-
9:00am - 10:30amWest Hills resident Eric Nagle is attempting to ban skateboarding on 10 streets in SW Portland. While it may sound trivial, this ban could seriously impact the precedent for banning a form of transportation on a public street at the behest of an individual's urging. Let's show up and urge our council members to vote no on the ban.
Want to testify? Please keep it concise. Your testimony must be under 3 minutes. You may want to focus on the fact that individuals are responsible for their own safety and the roads are public space for all.

YOU KNOW, A PRETTY GOOD RIDE
-
11:30am - 2:30pm, duration is wiggly.Remember "A Nice Long Ride" from last year? We left a little too early, but I promise you (Roger!) that we won't leave early this year. Starts from the delightful CityBikes at their Annex location (SE 8th and SE Ankeny), and will end somewhere else. Essentially a loop. Probably around 30 miles.
Just like last year, it's not about the speed and it's not about hills, "epic" or otherwise. The pace will be semi-moderate but when someone has an issue, we all stop, take care of it, and then thank our lobster overlords for not annihilating us yet. You know.
let's all be this guy! aaahahahaha

Informal discussion of bicycle laws and safety is encouraged. (Top of the hill, near the bathrooms.)I was charged with a violation for Impeding Traffic while "corking" on a Pedalpalooza ride early this month. I've received enough inquiries about donating toward any eventual fines that I have decided to hold a fundraising ride. Any funds not turned over to the court will be donated to the Bicycle Transportation Alliance.
All joking aside, participants are encouraged to both follow the law and do their best to ensure their safety as well as those around them.

Note to parents: Please use EXTREME caution if looping back later on your own to OMSI via the Hawthorne Bridge.
Please ride between your child and the auto lane, better yet double back across the Steel Bridge's lower-deck bikeway.
