Punctual roll time 10:30am
Let's ride bikes and go swimming! Please take a minute to read the below information to ensure maximum fun. We will roll out punctually at 10:30am. We'll ride 5 miles (and up a nice sized hill!) to a public outdoor pool (BRING $6 CASH FOR ENTRY). Summertime at a public outdoor pool means there will be a line. After the pool, we'll ride 5 miles (much of it downhill!) to a public beach on the Willamette River. After splashing around a bit, we'll ride another 5 miles to a secret swim hole. Don't ask me where the secret swim hole is, just come and you will see! To get back to where we started, you can take the Trolley Trail and Springwater, about 10 miles, or hop the Orange Line MAX. Stay behind the ride leader. We will take several short regroup stops on the way up the hill to the pool. If you're a super strong, fast rider, congratulations! We'll be waiting for the slowest rider before resuming up the hill - a great opportunity for you speed demons to take a beat and practice patience. You will need: * $6 cash for pool entry (CASH!) * towel * swimsuit * sunscreen * bike lock * snacks/drinks for the day * a positive attitude The public pool entry is $6 for adults ($5 for kids). There’s always a line and PAYING WITH CASH IS QUICKER. The pool will likely be crowded and there’ll be lotsa kids and families there. We will only be stopping at swim spots, no stores or cafes. There is a snack bar at the public pool where we swim first. If you are bringing kids, they must be comfortable riding on streets with cars and be able to keep a 10 mph pace. If you are riding an e-bike, please be aware this ride is longer and harder than many Pedalpalooza rides, so your battery may not last all day. Rules (which you agree to follow just by showing up!): 1) no complaining 2) do whatever you want 3) don't sue me
