Roll out at about 7:45-8:00pm.
Do you like climbing? How about descending? What about views? You're in luck. Answer just 1 of 3 and this ride is for you! We will be taking a gradual climb up to Council Crest from Beaverton Transit Center. Same as the normal set up, 7:30pm meet up with a 7:45-8pm roll out. We will be taking a few rests, a Plaid Pantry, before we get to Council Crest. We will hang out and soak in the views of the city before we mob back into Portland. THIS IS NOT A LOOP. We will end the ride at Pizza Slut again after we bomb down and get onto Burnside. Use the MAX to get to Beaverton (No more than $5) and join us or ride to Beaverton Transit as Wonderboy Troy may have a ride leading to this one! Bring lights, smiles, a helmet is encouraged, and PMA!!! The ride is about 12.5 miles and just over 1,000 feet of climbing and the descent is breathtaking. Please be careful and have good brakes because this is a descent and no corkers. We will update and inform the riders before we take off and there will be more than one person who knows the route. *I will be talking about mental health issues before the ride to help destigmatize what it is to suffer, deal, live with someone suffering, or just curious. We will be crossing over a bridge dubbed "suicide bridge" and I want to take the time to highlight the struggles. Feel free to share experiences or remain silent and listen.* Hope to see you there!
