Punctual roll time 10:30am
Let's ride bikes and go swimming! (No registration required, just show up) 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 5pm or so. Stay behind the ride leader. We will take several short regroup stops on the way up Terwilliger. If you're a super strong, fast rider, congratulations! But we'll be waiting for the slowest rider before resuming up the hill - a great opportunity for you speed demons to take a beat and practice patience. To get back to where we started, you can take the Trolley Trail and Springwater, about 10 miles, or hop the MAX. 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 only be stopping at swim spots, no stores or cafes. 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. Here are the rules (that you agree to follow just by showing up): 1) no complaining 2) do what you want 3) don't sue me
