ECT Slow & Easy “Asa Lovejoy” Ride
Sponsored by the Community Exchange Cycle Touring Club. We leave no riders behind.
Asa Lovejoy was the “loser” of the infamous coin toss of 1845 that decided that our city was to be named Portland rather than Boston.
Come along on this slow and easy ride that will visit Lovejoy Fountain Park named in Lovejoy’s honor, cruise the street named for him, and visit Asa at his final resting place in Lone Fir Cemetery. Any Portland historians that can add color commentary about Asa Lovejoy will be given an opportunity to share their knowledge on this ride!
This ride is ideal for anybody looking for a ride set at more relaxed pace and will be routed using streets with bike lanes, bike
paths,and/or minimal automotive traffic. We leave nobody behind!
