SUMMARY:From Highway Hell\, To Bicycle Bliss -- RIDE #5: POWELL BLVD  
 **UPDATED**
CONTACT:veggies
DESCRIPTION:RIP Raymond\, you deserved a safer biking network\nRIDE #5: 
 POWELL BLVD\nPowell Park to 145th x Powell\, brief pause at Essex Park - 
 6.9 miles\, no loop.\n\nUPDATE: The direction and length have been 
 changed. This ride will end at the location where a cyclist\, Raymond 
 Myers\, was recently hit and killed. Riders are invited to bring flowers 
 or other memorial items to leave at the end location.\n\nOur city is 
 lacerated by multi-lane highways and stroads that are hostile to human 
 life and subservient to mass automobility. These rides aim to prefigure 
 what these wretched roadways should become -- long\, straight\, safe 
 courses for human-powered transit! We claim these roads for 
 bicycling!\n\nThese rides will take the entire rightmost travel lane\, and
  potentially more\, depending on size -- the more people show up to ride 
 together\, the less individual bravery any one person needs to bring. Due 
 to the current unsafety of these roads\, these rides are not particularly 
 recommended for younger children. The goal is to consistently move at ~12 
 mph\, though we'll maintain whatever pace we need to stay together. The 
 ride leader is an experienced road rider and will ride in the back as 
 caboose/sweep with a brightly visible trailer. Snacks\, waters\, first aid
  kit\, and bike tools will be on hand. We will follow road laws\, but will
  prioritize staying together as a group\, so corking would be welcome if 
 the group size justifies it.\n\nThis is a series of six rides on 
 "unfriendly" roads -- demanding by action that no city streets should be 
 unfriendly to people outside of cars!\n\nJune 29\, 3:00pm - 11th/12th-
 Milwaukie\nJuly 6\, 5:00pm - Cesar Chavez\nJuly 12\, 11:00am - Sandy\nJuly
  20\, 2:00pm - 82nd\nJuly 27\, 10:00am - Powell\nAugust 3\, 1:00pm - MLK 
 Jr.\nQuick safety chat at 10:00am\, ride shortly thereafter.\nEnds at SE 
 145th x Powell (14507 SE Powell 
 Blvd)\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-21943
LOCATION:Powell Park\n2500 SE Powell Blvd\, Portland\, OR 97202\nMeet by
