SUMMARY:Russellquist Bridal Velo: Cycling\, Camping\, and Celebrating John
  & Emily's Wedding
CONTACT:Bureau of John Russell
DESCRIPTION:Meet in town or along the HCRH for a ride to camp at the 
 Russellquist wedding in Cascade Lox with Sugarpine lunch stop.\n\nPack 
 your camping gear\, load up your bike\, and join us at one of many stops 
 along our scenic route through the Columbia River Gorge as we celebrate 
 the marriage of John Russell and Emily Steelquist at Thunder Island in 
 Cascade Locks. Starting from inner N/NE Portland\, we’ll leave town via 
 Marine Drive on our way to lunch at Sugarpine Drive-in on the Sandy River 
 in Troutdale\, which is <2 miles from the Columbia Gorge Express bus 
 stop\, which stops in Troutdale at 1:35 pm en route to Multnomah Falls\, 
 Cascade Locks\, and Hood River. Assuming fair winds\, we'll plan to be at 
 Sugarpine Drive-In from roughly 1:30 to 2:30 PM.\n\nAfter lunch\, the ride
  will continue along the Historic Columbia River Highway and State Trail 
 all of the way to Cascade Locks. After a brief stop at Portland Women’s 
 Forum State Scenic Viewpoint\, a segment of the HCRH to the Vista House is
  currently closed for construction due to a landslide and may require a 
 steep\, unpaved detour. Fortunately\, this closure means that traffic is 
 much lower on either side of the detour! The ride may regroup a few times 
 at major stops so no one gets left behind\, as well as to meet other 
 riders who will join us along the way. If there are no major delays\, we 
 plan to ride past Multnomah Falls around the 4:30 PM\, which is within 5 
 minutes of the Columbia Gorge Express buses in both directions. We hope to
  pass Eagle Creek around 5:30 PM.\n\nRiders with larger/heavier bikes 
 should be aware of the stairs located near Eagle Creek\, which will be 
 traversed in the downstairs direction\, or bypassed via the Toothrock 
 Tunnel on I-84\, which is open to bikes:

  end at the Marine Park Campground in Cascade Locks around 6 PM\, where 
 we’ll join our fellow campers for BYO Happy Hour and we welcome friends we
  couldn’t invite to camp with us on Saturday and/or Sunday night. While 
 our love and camping space may be virtually unlimited\, the Bureau of John
  Russell regrets that seating capacity may be limited to a financially 
 constrained list—first in our hearts\, last in line for a slice. Balancing
  the budget is optional\, but appreciated. While “banned [still] means 
 banned\,” attendance is not limited by blood relation\, state boundary\, 
 or pedaling capacity—only by willingness to celebrate the marriage of John
  & Emily in true Cascadian style.\n\nLastly\, there is no return ride 
 planned as we leave for our honeymoon bike tour\, so riders are encouraged
  to coordinate with other guests or plan to take the Columbia Gorge 
 Express home for only $10\, which has bike racks on each bus to hold over 
 half a dozen bicycles:\nhttps://www.ridecatbus.org/columbia-gorge-
