    Welcome to THE *8th non-annual* ALLEY RIDE! (See an incredible IG video that BikePortland put together of last year's ride here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C84fL16JX_0/) We'll enjoy a semi-long ride (~13 miles) cruising at a moderate pace through the alleys of upper N/NE Portland. Wider tires are recommended for some chunky gravel and routine bumps! Take in the sights of beautiful murals, fun backyards, and weird things that are only found in alleys. Who knows what we'll come across - let's find out, together :) This is NOT a 'no drop' ride. The alleys are mostly great but sometimes rough, so please be prepared with a flat kit or be ready to take transit, etc. SPOILER ALERT! If you want to see the route ahead of time, here's the RideWithGPS link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51144230 ~~~ NEW THIS YEAR! ~~~ This ride will officially 'end' at Alberta Park, where we will then kick-off our next ride, THE ALLEY RIDE ALLEY CAT ride. That ride will be a 'scavenger hunt' alley cat for individuals to race to locations that we just rode past to complete your manifest.
