*This was rescheduled from 6/28 because of unpredictable rainy weather to Sunday 8/9
Please join us for the most family friendly ride of this summer hosted by Rachael of PDX Dinorama/PDX Sidewalk Joy and PDX: NakedHearts.
The ride will meet at Grant Park at 9:30am and we will ride at 10 promptly. The ride is a loop and will be around 5.5 miles stopping at many installations in the Irvington area ending back at Grant Park's playground. There will be a lot of stops so please keep that in mind; the point is to enjoy all these unique installations that make Portland so amazing! If the ride is large it may be hard to enjoy each stop to the fullest, but we will do our best to make sure everyone gets to see and hear about each one while keeping on schedule. You can expect a mellow pace with a lot of regrouping as well to make sure everyone is together and safe. The stewards of most of these sidewalk joy installations will be home to greet us which is so special!If you have speakers, please bring them and join our jam or play only family friendly music while respecting keeping space riding between speakers. If you came last year you may remember how HOT it was! The route is shorter this year with less stops.
To be prepared for the fun here are some things you can bring: small toys/figurines, quarters (at least 2!), toy cars/car related trinkets, keychains, stickers
Please be sure to bring plenty of water and any snacks you and your kids may need; these can be enjoyed at any of the stops :)
Safety first and fun second! If you are attending please keep in mind this is a family friendly event so we ask that you do not partake in any alcohol or smoking before, during or after while around the group. We will need people to cork; if you are willing to help please check in with anyone in a pink vest/ride leader Nichole before the ride so we can go over expectations with you. You will need to ride in front and precork and we expect anyone corking to practice non violence to keep the group safe. If you have not spoken to us about corking please refrain from doing so.
If you are a banned rider you are 100% not welcome on this ride and we will be following the Shift code of conduct.
