Alberta Cooperative Grocery, 1500 NE Alberta St Take Trimet
3:00pm – 5:00pm
Spring is in full effect, so what better way to celebrate than taking a leisurely bicycle ride along the Alameda Ridge? Ride an easy five miles or so, taking in the nice neighborhoods, scenic overlooks, and hidden treasures along the way. And at the end of the ride, you have the option of taking a li’l ‘adventure’ ride up Rocky Butte – that is, if you’re up for it! At no point on the ride will we go up or down the Alameda Ridge! No hills unless you go on the Adventure portion of the ride.
