SUMMARY:Ride to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Magical Forest
CONTACT:Tom Howe
DESCRIPTION:Remember that scene at the start of the movie E.T. the Extra-
 Terrestrial where E.T. is so enchanted by the magical forest he is 
 exploring that he misses his ride home? Later on\, E.T. returns to the 
 forest in the basket of Elliott’s bicycle to “phone home” using his 
 ingenious communicator made from various household items.\n\nWell\, 
 Portland has a similar magical forest\, and on the anniversary of the 
 movie’s release we are having a group ride there. So decorate your bike 
 with any E.T. memorabilia you may have and join us for a 3.5 mile ride to 
 the hidden entrance into the magical forest. The route will be pretty flat
  with a one-block hill\, and it is entirely paved\, so any bike will do. 
 No need for those bike jumping skills Elliott and his buddies demonstrated
  in the movie! We will simply walk our bikes on a path a short distance 
 into the forest.\n\nOnce there\, maps will be provided to everyone to 
 explore the forest on foot (there’s a place to lock up bikes). The forest 
 is quite large and has a few tie-ins to the movie. And it has some other 
 cool stuff not related to the movie. The location of all of these will be 
 indicated on the map. And at the forest we will pass out packaged treats 
 to all who attend. You can probably guess what those will be! And there's 
 a special E.T. prize hidden at the entrance to the forest. Bring your cell
  phone or GPS handheld along as the map coordinates of that prize will be 
 given to go on a geocache-style treasure hunt.\n\nThis ride is a BikeLoud 
 PDX affiliated event\, and the family friendly 3.5 mile route will mostly 
 be on the calm streets of the Neighborhood Greenway network\, with some 
 brand-new bike infrastructure included. The end location is fairly close 
 to a Portland MAX station. If you have any questions on the ride\, contact
  the organizer at the Instagram link below.\n\nThe magical forest is a fun
  place to explore both now and in the future\, so we hope to see you on 
 the ride!\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-16755
