Ride for Sukho – 8:00 am at Legacy Coffee (Gresham)
Friends of Sukho Viboolsittiseri will honor his life with a group bike ride that will roll by the place he was seriously injured in a collision in May 2023. Sukho had planned to do this ride himself in order to, “reclaim the space and himself,” says friend Ryan Francesconi. More info here.
