About the ride
From the Shift calendar: 10 am roll time
Let's ride bikes and go swimming! Please take a minute to read the below to ensure maximum fun. Please let me lead from the front, always riding behind or beside me so I may set our pace. We'll be riding around 8-10mph, slower when climbing, with several regroup stops. If you are a strong, fast rider - congratulations! Are you skilled and experienced enough to ride slower than you are used to? If not, please skip this ride. We’ll roll out at 10:30am and 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 it will be crowded and there will be a line. After enjoying the pool for about an hour, we'll ride 5 miles (much of it downhill!) to a public beach on the Willamette River. We’ll splash around for a while, then 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. You will need: * $6 cash for pool entry (paying with cash is quicker) * towel * swimsuit * sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hat * bike lock * snacks/drinks for the day * a positive attitude We will not be stopping at any stores. There is a snack bar at the public pool where we swim first and there's a public restroom and water fountain at the public beach. Last 9 riders swimming get a spoke card. If you are riding an e-bike, please be aware this ride is longer than many Pedalpalooza rides and your battery may not last all day. Rules (which you agree to follow just by showing up!): 1) no complaining 2) stay behind the ride leader 3) don't sue meContact
