Three Meeting Spots: 1. The Cart Blocks: Meet at 12:45 pm. Ride at 1:30 pm; 2. Rose Quarter TC: Meet ~1:45 pm, MAX (Blue/Red/Green line) ~2 pm; 3. Gateway TC (at NE Pacific St): Meet ~2:15 pm, Ride ~2:30 pm
End location: Bike Works by p:ear (SE 141st and SE Stark St); option to extend to SE 162nd for food and then MAX back
We will be taking a trip out to East Portland to visit our friends at Bike Works by p:ear (https://bikeworkspdx.org/) and discussing how we can build coalitions to make East Portland a safe space for ALL. This ride will follow the PSU Farmers Market/Loop the Blocks Ride. We will meet at the Cart Blocks (SW Park Ave and SW Ankeny), enjoy some food, ride to the Rose Quarter Transit Center (second meeting spot), get on the Blue, Red or Green MAX to Gateway Transit Center (our third meeting spot) and then ride East Portland Greenways/bike lanes to SE 141st and Stark where the new Bike Works bike shop is located. Here is a Google Maps link to the East Portland portion of the ride: https://goo.gl/maps/pFs1gmnx1AMbLKdB7. I have included Greenways and bike lanes. NOTE: The crossing at E Burnside is marked but the portion over the tracks involves acute turns that may be challenging for some, especially those with larger cargo bikes. There will likely be a stop at a local eatery in East Portland following our meeting with Bike Works, likely at Nellys Taqueria (SE 162nd and Stark). We will then take the MAX back west.
