Pedalpalooza Ride Report: 5 Senses Ride

Last night, on a balmy June evening approx. 45 bicyclists gathered for a tour to tickle the 5 Senses
We:
- Stopped to Smell the roses in Ladd’s Addition
- Tasted some treats at Voodoo Doughnuts
- Felt the vibration of the pavers and the touch of low hanging branches is Jaimeson Square
- Smelled the hops at Bridgeport and the Felt the cobbles on Marshall
- Enjoyed the sights from the banks of the Willamette, underneath the Fremont Bridge
- Streched our 6th sense, to feel the vibe in the Peace Garden at the top of the East side Esplanade at the Steel Bridge
- Listened to the freight train along the Banfield (because Emily forgot to stop long enough for everyone to hear the kinetic sculpture in
- Waterfront park at the *west* side of the Steele Bridge)
- And made a final stop at Franz Bakery, to smell the bread and take a closer look at all those conveyor belts
All that in 2 hours (!!!)
We had a great ride!
And as a ride leader, I have to say this crowd was very attentive and responsive to the call to ’saddle up’ and roll to the next stop
And Timo would like to say - “Our riders were sensitive, sensational, and sensible~!”
