meet at 8am, ride at 8:30.
End location: Mt. Tabor or St Johns
Get your gluten AND your glutes on! A morning tour of some of Portland's best sourdough bread bakeries. We'll meet in the miasma under the Franz bread sign to get in the mood, then ride down through SE Portland picking up loaves along the way at Good Dough (brand new!), Little T and Tabor Bread. We'll head to the Montavilla Farmers Market next, to visit Labyrinth Bread (focaccia to die for) and Hi Gluten (don't sleep on the kouign amann and the pretzel croissants). We'll take our goodies to Mt. Tabor Park (don't worry, not to the top!) and have a picnic in the shade by the reservoir. Anyone feeling spicy can ride an extra 13 miles to St. Johns to top up on carbs at Starter Bread with their amazing pretzels, slabs, cookies, and of course, bread. Without this it's around 9 miles ending at Tabor. I'll get a loaf from each bakery, but please bring some $$ to support the bakers and/or contribute bread or spread to share! Extra points if you baked it yourself. The ride is not a loop, about 21 miles for the whole shebang with a couple of hills but nothing too bad. No-drop, social pace, but we'll limit stops to 20 min (so maybe don't order a complicated sandwich). If you want to stay longer (maybe you really want that complicated sandwich) you can catch up at the next bakery. route here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51420072 (subject to change)
