BIKETOWN REDISTRIBUTION "JOG 'N' RIDE": SE Hawthorne and 12th (At the Biketown station next to Lardo)
5:00pm - 7:00pm, Warm-up stretches at 5:15, depart at 5:30. We'll stop in time to get to the Twin Peaks Ride
When a Biketown station has too many bikes, or too few, the Biketown team redistributes the bicycles to/from the station by truck. This "jog 'n' ride" aims to do the same thing, but using people power!
Make sure you're wearing comfortable clothing and running shoes, because the plan is to jog to a station with too many bikes, check them out, ride them to a nearby station with too few bikes, rinse and repeat. Both the jogging and riding paces will be slow and conversational, and most jog/ride legs will be a mere 1/4 to 3/4 of a mile. It is highly recommended that you pre-purchase either a Biketown annual subscription or day pass.

CAMAS CASTLE RIDE: IKEA, 10280 NE Cascades Pkwy, Portland, Oregon 97220 (Meet at the bike racks outside the main IKEA entrance)
10:00am
Pedalpalooza may be over, but the bike riding goes on! This 33-mile loop ride takes you from the Portland IKEA store over the I-205 Bridge to the castle in Camas, Washington. Yes there is a private residence in Camas that looks just like a medieval castle, complete with drawbridge and keep. It is not open to the public, so we will only be looking at the outside. Another highlight of the ride is the Lacamas Heritage Trail, which is a hard-packed 4-mile gravel trail for bikes and pedestrians along the shore of Lacamas Lake. Another section of trail goes through Lacamas Park with a bridge spanning the middle of Lower Falls. On the way back we'll ride through quaint downtown Camas and a fish hatchery.

FREE BIKE TOUR: BEYOND PORTLANDIA!: Everybody's Bike Rentals & Tours, 305 ne wygant
3:00pm
Hey! Do you know where you live?

Join Everybody's Bike Rentals & Tours on a FREE BIKE TOUR of NE Portland and learn about the too-often-untold history of this incredible neighborhood, the forces that shaped it, and the folks whose stories are at risk of being lost. You'll never look at NE Portland the same again!

Although Portland is now known as an artsy, progressive, foodie paradise, there's a deeper story hidden in plain site if you know where to look. On this scenic 2-hour tour you'll learn the fascinating history of NE Portland, from the first inhabitants over 10,000 years ago to the radically transforming city we see today.

We'll head down bike-lanes and back streets, giving you the scoop on secret murals, rich historic sites, goat farms, and more! We'll dive into the complexity of our collective history by exploring displacement, racism, natural disasters and the systemic inequities that shaped and define this unique city.

We at Everybody's Bike Rentals & Tours are committed to supporting our community, celebrating local history, and championing a bike-centric lifestyle!

THIS TOUR IS FREE TO ATTEND AND ALL DONATIONS GO DIRECTLY TO Self Enhancement, Inc. (SEI) IN NE PORTLAND!

Bring your bike or rent one of ours, (regular rental rates apply:pdxbikerentals.com/bicycle-rentals-portland/)

RSVP if you can so we know how many to expect. Tell your friends, and bring some water!

We'll leave at 3pm from Everybody's Bike Rentals & Tours at 305 NE Wygant st, Portland, OR 97211. Thanks!

GOTH RIDE 3: GHOSTS OF THE COLUMBIA: Peninsula Park, 700 N Rosa Parks Way (Between the rose garden and the gazebo)
4:00pm, We'll leave when it feels right.
Come one, come all, clad in black and ready to goth. This year, we are going to explore the ghosts of the north. I have found a historic graveyard of gorgeous proportions, and plan to hop from park to park in North Portland. We will explore the borders of goth and industrial. We will picnic on the Skidmore Bluffs before returning 'home' to the Lone Fir.
We will start at Peninsula park, this year, and end at Lone Fir. The route is 13 miles with mild hills. I've laid the route out to avoid very large uphill climbs.
Bring your playlist of post punk, goth, goth-hop, and even industrial music this year!
Come explore new places and deaths of the Ghosts of the North.

10:00am
In July, Kidical Mass PDX will be going bike camping! We will be returning to Stub Stewert State Park for an overnight July 15th-16th. The route is a lovely 22 mile ride on quiet country roads and the Banks Vernonia Trail.
For this trip, we've rented a van to drive cargo bikes out to the end of the Blue Line - to avoid the long trip out to HIllsboro. This is generally a kids as passengers ride, although older kids have historically done the ride without problem.
Getting there:
Plan to meet at the Goose Hollow Max stop Saturday morning at 10. We'll load up cargo bikes into the truck, and then catch the train. The truck will meet us at the end of the Blue Line, and we'll ride 22 miles from there. We'll stop in Banks for lunch and grocer
