Colonel Summers Park, SE Taylor & SE 17th Ave
Meet between the basketball courts and the splash pad
Avery Hill & Lois Leveen
Sun, Jul 20, 2025, 2:30 PM
2:30pm Meet / 3:00pm Play / 3:15pm Ride
Co-led by Avery Hill (on the tunes) and Lois Leveen (on the route). Bring your 'ukulele (or other bike-able acoustic instrument) and join our rolling jam to parks and public spaces around inner SE and NE Portland. Lois will lead you to each stop, where Avery will lead a few 3-chord songs for the group to play and sing, then we'll move on to our next jam spot. Songs are geared (haha) toward 'ukulele players, but other instruments and/or sing-along-ers are very welcome. Riding details: This will not be an arduous ride, and we will stick to bike-friendly streets. The ride is NOT a loop but the final stop is only a five-minute ride from the start. If you haven’t ridden with an instrument case on your back or your bicycle, give it a try before the ride so you find the right fit / position for you (tip: wear your instrument diagonally across your back to avoid hitting your helmet with it!) What to bring: Helmets and water bottles are strongly urged, as well as any snacks you may want to have on hand (no snack stops planned). You may want a towel or blanket to sit on at each jam spot if you don't like sitting directly on grass. We may also ride late enough that you’ll want your lights to ride home. In case of extreme heat or poor air quality, this ride will be rescheduled. Please check back for updates.
