About
Have you missed out on half the Pedalpalooza rides this summer? Been working late, slept in, or just couldn't pull it together in time to make the start of a ride? Don't sweat it—this ride is built for you.
Join your fellow chronic procrastinators for one final, last-minute blowout bike ride to close out the season. We’ll make a quick store stop along the way to grab supplies, say a proper farewell to summer, and mentally brace ourselves for the impending Portland rain and darkness to come.
If you're running late, don't worry. The live route is posted right here so you can catch up whenever you can—or dip in whenever it suits you. Better late than never.
Vibes & Rules:
Adults Preferred: Do your thing. Drinking and smoking are fine as long as you're not directly offending anyone around you. Just don't be a dick and don't be creepy.
Consent & Conduct: We practice enthusiastic consent. No means no. Don't touch other people or their gear without asking. If you cross boundaries, you will be asked to leave. Check yourself so you don't wreck yourself. If you're banned from other rides, you're banned here.
Mostly No-Drop: We’ll do our best to keep everyone together, but sh!t happens. We'll figure it out as we go.
Full Autonomy: Dip whenever you want—Irish goodbyes are completely understandable. Just make sure you're able to get to your destination safely.
Pace & Terrain: A chill, steady pace around 8–12 mph. Hills are inevitable in this city, which means some fun hill bombs are also on the menu. It might take longer than expected, it might not—who's counting anyway?
Soundtrack & Music:
Honestly, I put this ride together so we could collectively soak in those late-summer feels and mentally prepare for the impending doom that is the rest of the year in Portland.
My speaker isn't huge, so if it works, sweet. If not, feel free to play your own stuff—just preferably no EDM. But whatever, assuming anyone actually shows up. Whatever happens, happens. Let's just ride bikes
This is my first time leading a ride, and I'm super late posting it. Show up or don't! Honestly, I'll probably be late to the start myself (hopefully not, but let's be real).
