About the ride
We're back for The Second Annual Linus Pauling Ride! Who is Linus Pauling, you might be asking yourself? Only the man, the myth, the father of molecular biology, the vitamin C guy, the multi-Nobel Prize-winning legend! This Portland-born icon has left an indelible mark on all our lives, but his footprint in Portland is sort of... invisible. On this ride, we'll visit all the secret Linus Pauling haunts and memorials that the city has to offer, from his boyhood home, to a mysterious Linus Pauling shrine, to a bar that *used* to have a Linus Pauling-themed cocktail on its menu. [NEW Linus Pauling lore has been added for this year's ride!!!] Last year this ride drew in people who know way more about science than we do, so be prepared to be in community with some extremely smart and wonderful people on this one. We'll start at Ladd's Circle and visit a few stops on the east side. We'll take a break at Revolution Hall around mile 5 (this will be a good spot to bail if you don't want to cross the river). Then it's another 3 miles over to Goose Hollow Inn, where you'll have the option taste the one-of-a-kind Linus Pauling Special. Our last stop is right next to the MAX if you wanna catch the blue or red lines. Family friendly, no-drop, and chill pace (~8mph with breaks), led by experienced and risk-averse ride leaders. Vitamin C supplements will be provided. They're good for your health, we swear!!!Contact
