Palm Tree Ride – 11:00 am (location shared after registration)
The annual middle-of-winter tradition returns for its seventeenth year! This is an approximately 10-mile casual bicycle ride explorin’ the palm trees around town. Some other exotics and evergreens, like eucalyptus, madronas, yuccas, or Oregon myrtles are also thrown in. After the ride ends there will be an option for interested folks to get food and libations. Limited to 24 participants. You must register to receive the exact starting location. More info here.
Bike Loud West Chapter Ride & Meeting – 1:45 pm at Director Park (SW)
We will start with a short group ride before holding our Bike Loud West chapter meeting. This chapter covers issues west of the Willamette River. We’ll plug you into existing advocacy efforts or find new advocacy projects based on attendees’ interests. Come just for the ride or just the meeting, if you like. Even if you don’t have time for advocacy, come to learn and meet others who also value a bikable city! More info here.
