Year: 2007

Hey, wanna go for a safe, mellow, family-friendly ride through a few (mostly) S.E. neighborhoods on Friday, July 27th, hopefully spreading a little joy along the way? Bubble machines and kidlets are *so* very welcome!!! Let’s meet up outside of Palio on the big circle in Ladd’s Addition starting at 5:45 p.m., and kick off *promptly* at 6:15 p.m. If you want to wear something fun, bright, and/or outlandish, just go for it – whatever makes you happy!!! Come on out and play! :o)

If you have any questions, or some new and exciting route suggestions, please let me know! If you’re up for a bit of rabble-rousing, well, I’m sure there are plenty of other rides you could be a part of. ;o) Thanks!

Palio’s address is 1996 SE Ladd, in case you don’t already know! Welcome!
Peace and Blessings,
~ Misha :o)

Small Museums By Bike: Discovering Gresham

Met at Eastbank Esplanade at Hawthorne Bridge, Portland*

10:45 am (length – half-day adventure)
The 4th largest city in Oregon, Gresham, may seem like just a suburb of Portland, but they have a lot going on. Gresham’s historical downtown is delightful, famous bagels (Jazzys) a-wait you, and a famous girl (Miss America, 2002 Katie Harman) was born there. Also getting there is easy thanks to the Springwater Corridor, a flat bike-ped only path. Bring a sack lunch or money for bagels and we will enjoy exhibits at the Gresham History Museum (donations accepted), and take the Gresham history walk.

How far? About 16 miles one way leisurely pace to Gresham via the Springwater Corridor bike path. Option to take the Max train back to Portland (bring $2). Otherwise 32 miles roundtrip.
FREE (bring $ for lunch, museum donation, max train)
* If you live in far SE and would prefer to meet us on route, please contact me and we can arrange a meeting point.

Event Website

Yes, for all of us who aren’t getting enough mystery rides or outdoor
screenings per month, you can rest easy….

The Mystery Movie Ride is a monthly sunset ride to a secret cinema
screening under the stars. The event takes place on the last Friday
of the month and meets at Friendship Circle, located at the West Side
of the Steel Bridge. For meet-up time, and more information check
movieride.net

July’s screening will include selected shorts, as well as two features
that highlight music. “Frida” chronicles the life of artist Frida
Kahlo, who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her
tempestuous marriage into her work. The film is the latest by
acclaimed director Julie Taymor and features an Oscar award-winning
original score. In “True Stories,” David Byrne (lead singer of the
Talking Heads) writes, stars, and directs a mock documentary that is
part musical, part farce, and completely strange.

revphil is bringing back the bike porn….if you missed the first one, here’s your chance to redeem yourself.
