The ever illusive *Lunchtime Slice Case* - truly a thing of beauty... This ride is an homage to these brave pizzaiolos who - against all odds - continue bringing these triangular slices of foldable melty magic to everyday working people during lunch time hours. FOUR Portland quadrants, EIGHT pizzerias (maybe even nine??). Square pizzas have FOUR corners, round pizzas (usually) have EIGHT slices. COINCIDENCE? I DUN THINKSO!! THE ROUTE: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/189414034 Pace for this ride will be spirited but social, we'll have lots of ground to cover and pizza to consume so departures from each stop will be timely! Within reason, we will stop for mechanicals but we got places to be and pizza to eat!! An important note re/ pizzeria courtesy: PLEASE DO NOT OVERWHELM these wonderful businesses. Have you ever been on a big ride that store-stops at a 7-Eleven with one guy at the register? Ya, I hate that. I'm gonna call or stop by all our pizza shop stops to let them know this ride is happening. Help by doing your part: have a pal to stand in line for you, maybe share a slice with someone, or just wait til the next stop if the line is long. I will bring a pizza cutter to slice regular slices down into smaller ones! This is not a contest to see who can eat the most slices, leave some for others. If you are absolutely determined to eat a slice at every stop, I will share the route so you can ride ahead and beat the group. Plz don't be a jerk to these lovely pizza people. They deserve your respect AND YOUR TIP MONEY!!!! Anyone showing anti-pizzaiolo behavior will be ejected from the ride. Route starts at Baby Doll pizza, meet at 11am to grab the first few slices off the pizza peel before a strict 11:15 departure. Ride isn't quite a full loop, but begins and ends in SE. We'll first head into NE, then across the Broadway Bridge to NW, then to SW before heading back across the river to SE. Entire route is about 16 miles.
