SUMMARY:Southwest Succulence Ride\, N/NE Edition
CONTACT:Johnny Chain-Ringo
DESCRIPTION:Join me for a tour of Portland's succulents\, with a special 
 emphasis on cacti. As a desert rat I've carefully attuned my senses to 
 seek out every cactus I can find in Portland\, as well as having my 
 network of birds\, beasts and spies alert me to all they come across. For 
 better or worse\, their number and span quickly surpassed the scope of a 
 Pedalpalooza ride\, so I am limiting it to just the North and Northeast 
 quadrants for the first edition. \n\nEven still\, this ride is on the 
 longer side\, so buckle up pardner.\n\nRide Pace: ~10 mph\nRide Length: 
 ~26 miles\nThis ride is not a fast ride\, and there will be numerous 
 opportunities to regroup. That said\, it is not strictly no-drop and 
 riders should be responsible for keeping up.\n\nThe majority of the 
 cacti/succulents along this ride are prickly pear\, with a handful of 
 agave and one or two examples of cholla. One or two murals and cactus 
 adjacent decor are also thrown in for good measure.\nWe will be slow 
 rolling past most of the cacti on the ride\, but briefly pausing at some 
 of the more notable examples. \n\nRoughly half way through at mile 14 we 
 will stop for tacos. And at the end of the ride\, all are welcome to join 
 me at Waypost on Williams for beverages and additional 
 food.\n\nWestern/latin american/southwestern or cactus-themed attire is 
 welcome/encouraged. Even a little bolo tie or turquoise jewelry will 
 do!\n\nFinal Route : \n\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/51924556\n\nI 
 added a kind of long spur on Willamette to see a blooming agave. It adds 
 some miles but trust me it's worth it.\nGather at 3:40\, ride departs at 
 4:05PM.\nEnds at The Waypost\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-22325
