Meet Starting at 5:30 PM, Ride at 6:00 PM
8:30 PM
**This date is tentative, keep an eye on the Shift Calendar about 1 week out since it will be rescheduled if the weather is rainy, it's a night ride with some busier car-centric roads and we don't want to die.** Now that the nights are getting darker and the sun is setting earlier it can be hard to find the light and joy we find during night time bike rides during the summer. For me, neon signs evoke a combination of nostalgia and futurism and have a great warmth brought into the cold dark of the city night. Join me on a "tour" of some notable neon signs around Portland that glow year round and keep the nights bright. We'll see both large and small signs around North, Northeast and Northwest. Many of these signs are located on car-centric streets like Broadway and Interstate that we don't often think to ride on, let's get out there build community and enjoy the glow! The route is about 23 Miles long and will be generally moderately paced (10 miles per hour) with a no-drop mentality. We will stop around 10 miles into the ride at the plaza west of Hollywood Theater for a store stop at either Trader Joe's or the convenience store. We will finish up on Mississippi Ave around 9:00 and plan to hang out for a while in the area. The ride is a near loop ending 1/4 miles from the start point which is near the TriMet MAX yellow line for folks to get to and from the ride. Instagram: @akc.milian
