10:30am: Wanderlust Men’s Ride
The more I list this ride, the more I want to go on it! “We’ll ride east through residential neighborhoods, starting with Sullivan’s Gulch, Kerns, and Laurelhurst. Then around Mount Tabor and south through Montavilla. We’ll head back west parallel to Division… We really do wander. We make u-turns. We stop and look at things. We like architecture. We detour, a lot, so lead us down some alley.”
