SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Gilligan's Island Ride
CONTACT:Tom Howe
DESCRIPTION:This ride has been re-scheduled to August 3rd due to an injury
  to the ride leader\nA bike ride that pays homage to the 1960s television 
 show by going to the site of a desert island in SE Portland. Yes\, there 
 is a 2.5 acre island completely surrounded by water in SE Portland. This 
 island was once private property with housing\, but is now public land 
 that is being restored to its natural state.\n\nGilligan’s Island seems 
 especially appropriate for Pedalpalooza\, as two dozen of the 98 series 
 episodes featured pedal-powered inventions of one sort or another. This 
 assortment of devices includes such things as a washing machine\, a 
 cooling fan\, a sewing machine\, a diamond-bladed saw\, an air pump\, a 
 water wheel\, and even a pedal-powered dental drill to replace tooth 
 fillings. The picture shows a four-person pedal transmitter powered by 
 Gilligan\, Ginger\, Mary Ann\, and the Skipper to generate enough 
 electricity for the Professor to send a signal into outer space.\n\nThe 
 desert island we ride to dates back to the 1930s when the WPA (Works 
 Progress Administration) attempted to tame Johnson Creek by channeling the
  water flow. The project was a failure\, making flooding even worse\, so 
 the city has been gradually reversing it in recent years. The bridge out 
 to the island will be removed at some point\, and the island itself may 
 cease to exist if the channel separating it is removed. The ultimate goal 
 is to reduce flooding and provide the area with a green space that will be
  a community amenity.\n\nCome on the ride dressed as one of the seven 
 stranded castaways if you like. Other options include any of the roughy 
 three dozen visitors to Gilligan’s Island. Somehow these visitors always 
 got off the island without helping the castaways escape.\n\nThe bike ride 
 to the desert island is four miles\, followed by a food cart stop on the 
 route back to Clinton Park. Total distance for the completely-flat loop is
  eight miles. Including the food cart stop this ride should amount to a 
 Three Hour Tour.\nMeet at 11:30am\, ride at 
 noon\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-21022
