Punctual roll time 11 am
Let's ride bikes and go swimming! We'll ride 5 miles (and up a nice sized hill!) to a public outdoor pool (BRING $6 CASH FOR ENTRY) Then we'll ride 5 miles to a public beach on the Willamette River. Finally we'll ride 5 miles to a secret swim hole. This will take most of the day, guesstimate end time would be 6pm. To get back to where we started, you can take the Trolley Trail and Springwater, about 10 miles, or hop the MAX. (No registration required, just show up!) You will need: * $6 cash for pool entry * towel * swimsuit * sunscreen * bike lock * snacks/drinks for the day * a positive attitude The public pool entry is $6 for adults ($5 for kids). There’s always a line and paying with cash is quicker. The pool will likely be crowded and there’ll be lotsa kids and families there. We will not be stopping at any stores or restaurants or cafes along the way, so bring what you need. That said, there is a snack bar at our first stop (public pool). If you are bringing kids, they must be comfortable riding on streets with cars and able to keep a 12mph pace. Much of the route is bike path. If you are riding an e-bike, please be aware this ride is longer and harder than many Pedalpalooza rides, so your battery may not last all day. Stay behind the ride leader. There are many turns on this ride and I won't be in a position to yell if you get ahead of me. Great big thanks to BikeLoud PDX for bolstering me as a ride leader with a stipend to help me create bike fun like this.
