Meet at 2 p.m., ride at 2:15
Everyone knows that Portland is home to Powell's, the biggest independent new and used bookstore in the world! But Powell's is only one of a city teeming with bookstores: the weird, the quaint, the highly specialized, the downright creepy. We'll ride to several, stopping to browse and tell stories about the encounters we've had in their stacks. We'll bring along a writer or two; maybe we'll be lucky and find some of our own books shelved among the worn paperbacks and the self-help classics. Ride of about 8-10 miles with several stops. Not a loop.
