SUMMARY:The Two Towers Ride
CONTACT:Tom Howe
DESCRIPTION:With the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy coming back to theaters 
 in early June\, this bike ride is a celebration of that three-day event\, 
 getting its name from the second movie in the series. As stand-ins for the
  towers in the movies we are using the two towers in the West Hills that 
 overlook downtown Portland. And like the hobbits Frodo and Sam in the 
 movies\, it will be somewhat challenging getting to our end goal. The 
 route up to the towers is the least-steep one possible\, and a designated 
 bike route\, but it still involves 900 feet of elevation gain to get to 
 the first tower on Council Crest.\n\nThat tower on Council Crest is the 
 former KPTV transmitter\, and from there it is a one mile ride to the KGON
  Tower at about the same elevation. The KGON Tower is also called the 
 Stonehenge Tower and is the tallest free-standing structure between San 
 Francisco and Seattle. These two towers have some interesting history that
  will be covered on the ride.\n\nGiven the challenging climb on this 
 ride\, it is not specifically a costume event\, but if so inclined feel 
 free to come dressed as your favorite LOTR character. We will regroup as 
 needed on the ride up the hill. After visiting the Stonehenge Tower we 
 will make another stop at an overlook that provides a sweeping view 
 extending from downtown Portland to Mount Hood. From there the ride 
 returns to the start location at Lovejoy Fountain Park. Total ride 
 distance is eight miles. Hope to see you on the ride!\n\nHere is 
 information on each of the three movies\, which will be shown at select 
 theaters in Portland on the three afternoons and evenings prior to this 
 ride:\nJune 8 - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring\nJune 9 
 - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers\nJune 10 - The Lord of the Rings: 
 The Return of the King\n\nCheck local listings for times and tickets. 
 These are the extended versions of the movies\, so they will be longer 
 than the original theatrical releases from over twenty years 
 ago.\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-18873
