Back for its 9th year, Get Lost! is a Pedalpalooza Bike Ride led entirely by chance. Dice are rolled to determine how many blocks to ride, and which direction to turn once we get there (odd total = R, even =L). We ride until we find a natural end point. Feel free to bail whenever you wanna go somewhere else. You never know what to expect. Since we won't be taking designated bike routes riders should be pretty comfortable in semi-hairy conditions, but dangerous or illegal routes will not be traveled. Probably not a loop, but that's what we said the first year, and we (eerily) ended up in the exact place we started! Read about that year's ride here: http://bit.ly/2qY2TmQ

We ride around the airport with all sound systems playing Brian Eno's Music For Airports. Designated DJ from park to near airport where we all start up Music For Airports without electronic synchronization, allowing a slight drift to expand the depth of the music in a rippling echo effect as we ride. No store stop, pack for a journey. Not fast, leader pulling trailer with sound.

Did you know that Portland City Code now requires that drive-thrus are made available to people walking or biking, if the business would otherwise be inaccessible without a car? (See 33.224.070, "Multi-Modal Access") Let's give it a spin! We'll ride to a variety of drive-thru businesses and use the drive-thru windows on our bikes. Not a loop, ends in Southeast. Ride is free, but bring money for whatever you'd like to buy at the drive-thrus. Please order responsibly to minimize waste, compost or recycle what you can, and dispose of any trash responsibly. Leave no trace!

Second annual! Meet up at 5:30, ride leaves at 5:45. We're proposing a slightly different line up than last year; we'll meet at the Gazebo of Peninsula Park and we'll ride to Tehuana Oaxacan Truck, Michoacan Corporation, Charro Truck (Lombard and Peninsular), Rose City Tacqueria/ El Coyote Truck, and finish at Tienda Santa Cruz (and we might take the tacos to go and eat them at Peninsula Park if the weather's good) before finishing over some beers at slims. This is a slow, no-drop (no one left behind!), all-ages-and-abilities ride on neighborhood streets - it's about an ~8 mile, one-way ride that ends in St Johns, so prepare for a long ride back into town or hopping on the 4/44/75/35/16 bus lines for a ride back into town. Please bring cash to hand to me at the beginning of the ride, or even better, venmo/paypal me some $ ahead of time (asking sliding scale $15-30). We like to order the food in advance to give the restaurants a heads up. Proceeds go towards generous tipping at each local business and towards a lump sum donation to PCUN – Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste. . spread the word: https://www.facebook.com/events/315128285825912/ . We'd love it if you paid us ahead of time for the tacos, and RSVP'd that you are coming. It'll make the logistics of the ride much easier for everybody. Please fill out our google form: https://forms.gle/bhwvAUZ7JamPTfgv6.

Puzzled Pint is a hallowed tradition where friends gather at a mystery bar to solve intriguing puzzles together over food & drink.

In order for me to estimate how many location puzzle sheets to print, please RSVP via FB if you are on there, or send me a text (you can just text 'pp')
