    The Father of Molecular Biology. The Vitamin C guy. Winner of not one but TWO Nobel Prizes. The man, the myth, the Portland-born legend: Linus Pauling. Join us in celebrating this enigmatic public figure with a chill, no-drop (<10 mph) ride. We'll hit a slew of secret Linus spots, including but not limited to Linus Pauling's boyhood home, his alma mater Washington HS, and the Goose Hollow Inn. Emergen-C packets will be made available for important hydration and nutritional purposes. Ride is about 8 miles from Ladd's to Goose Hollow (not a loop). We'll end right by Goose Hollow MAX station if you want to transit it back to East Side afterwards. Also, we'll be making a stop at Revolution Hall at Mile 5 -- if you're wanting a shorter ride, that'll be an easy place to dip out.
