Ride Report
the second annual pedalpalooza preview ride went off without a hitch and with twice as many participants as last year! micah, jim, deacon amos, timo, esther, stephen upchurch, shads, and fool took to the happy streets on a lovely evening and stole all of your awesome ride ideas, boiled em down, mashed em up, and had a lot of fun! we meandered down the waterfront, past omsi, through donut shops and coffee houses, SE and NE, and ended up at moloko plus just as it started raining.
this year we previewed *over 60* rides–a small increase from last year’s 54, but only because we stopped counting at 61! and nobody even got naked (this was actually a little disappointing, and fool takes all the blame for not leading the strip down.) best dressed were fool: special tights, shoes, pretty panties, a kilt, and a microcosm publishing tshirt and shads: silver sparkly dancing boots, gay pride socks, sock dreams leggings, pajamas, and a superhero t-shirt. fool and shads changed outfits several times to up the rides-previewed count: a vaquero hat, a mortarboard, a toga, and a bathrobe.
good times were had by all, and we left ourselves some room to grow next year =)
