Meet at 5:30 pm, ride at 6:00 pm.
Dress up in your best Ned Flanders costume (or other Simpsons-related outfit) and check out Portland's newest car-free bridge, the stupid sexy (Ned) Flanders Crossing! In 2015, we led a Flanders-themed Pedalpalooza ride to rally support for this bridge, and now it's finally here, so we figured it's time for a celebration ride. We'll ride the new Flanders neighborhood greenway end-to-end, including the new bridge, and will also check out the newly-improved Johnson and Marshall neighborhood greenways nearby. We'll stop at the new bridge and a few other locations to talk about recent and upcoming improvements and how they happened, and bask in the glory of traffic-free and traffic-light streets. Ride meet-up is at the Japanese American Historical Plaza in Waterfront Park near NW Naito Pkwy & Couch St. Meet at 5:30pm, ride at 6:00pm. After riding Flanders, Johnson, and Marshall, we'll ride up to Mayor Quimby's favorite drinking establishment, the Lucky Lab Beer Hall on Quimby Street, for some post-ride beverages.
