SUMMARY:Summer 2023 Climate Resilience Ride
CONTACT:Emily K. & her Clean Energy Friends
DESCRIPTION:Rain\, shine\, smoke\, heat\, or asteroid... we ride\nClimate 
 change has been grinding away at our planet for decades\, but 2023 has 
 smashed records around the world for extreme weather\, arctic and 
 Antarctic ice melt\, high ocean temps\, and record high land temperatures.
  As of this posting\, 14 days in July 2023 have recorded surface air 
 temperatures greater than 17°C (62.6°F) — spikes that have not been seen 
 for roughly 125\,000 years. \n\nHere in Portland we had a wild Winter\, 
 followed by a non-existent Spring and a Summer that arrived two full 
 months early.  While we are not complaining - our high temps this Summer 
 have come nowhere near high temps seen in the Southwest\, Europe\, and 
 China - we remember the horrific fires in September 2020\, and the 116°F 
 days in June 2021\, and we know we are still as vulnerable as the rest of 
 the world.\n\nSo\, what will our planet look like at the end of August 
 2023?  Will one of the ice shelfs the size of Florida have broken off of 
 Antarctica on its way to raise the sea level around the globe? How many 
 more records will have been broken? And what will Portland look like? Come
  join us for a ride around the waterfront no matter what the weather or 
 world throws at us to discuss climate resilience strategies in this\, the 
 coolest summer that we'll likely experience for the rest of our 
 lives.\n\n*THIS RIDE WILL BE HELD RAIN\, SHINE\, SMOKE\, HIGH TEMPS\, OR 
 OTHERWISE!* The point of this ride is to think about how we'll be 
 resilient in the face of our changing climate.  If there's smoke from 
 wildfires\, bring a respirator and we'll do a very short loop. If it's 
 hot\, hydrate and wear sunscreen and we'll do a short\, slow loop. If it's
  raining\, you know what to do. The only reason this ride will be 
 cancelled is if the organizers are sick\, or if The Big One happens 
 first.\nMeet at 3 pm\, ride no later than 3:30 
 pm\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-17561
LOCATION:Salmon Street Springs\n1000 SW Naito Pkwy\, Portland\, OR
