ZOOBOMB CENTURY Link
Moshington Park, SW Fairview Blvd and SW Knights Blvd Take Trimet (The Logs of Indecision)
10:00am, Racers start at 10:00am sharp!
ZOOBOMB's annual death ride is back! 100 miles of downhill on a 16" kid's bike. Only minibikes place in the top 3. All bikes, boards, contraptions welcome to challenge. BBQ, prizes, grudges, medics!

How it works: Bring a bike, helmet (fullface=cheap dental insurance), MAX ticket. Maps with routes provided. Bomb all day until Zoobomb time. How fast are you? It'll take a while. Record your miles on the scoreboard. Grill on the hill.

Where? Take the MAX to Washington Park, go right til you hit Century HQ at the logs on top of the stairs.

Why? TO BE A CENTURION. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK

PREGNANT LADIES (AND NEW PARENTS) RIDE Link FF
Clever Cycles, 908 SE Hawthorne Blvd Take Trimet
11:00am
Pregnant ladies on bikes! Won't we be adorable!  We'll start with a quick workshop on cycling with small children, what gear to look for, and how to keep your family safe while pedaling.  Then we'll be off on a mini-tour of the many small, neighborhood playgrounds in SE (and southern NE) Portland.  Expect the pace to be slow and the terrain to be flat and will stick mainly to neighborhood greenways.  Dads and dads-to-be are welcome with a pregnant woman or child attendant or with a pillow underneath your shirt.

We'll probably wind up the ride at one of Portland's many amazing ice cream shops

GET LOST! Link
Velo Cult, 1969 NE 42nd Take Trimet
2:00pm - 5:00pm, Feel free to bail whenever you wanna go somewhere else
Back for its 4th year, Get Lost! is a ride led entirely by chance.  Dice are rolled to determine how many blocks to ride, and which direction to turn once we get there (Odd total =R, Even =L).

You never know what to expect. Since we won't be taking designated bike routes riders should be pretty comfortable in semi-hairy conditions, but dangerous or illegal routes will not be traveled.

Probably not a loop, but that's what we said the first year, and we (eerily) ended up in the exact place we started! Read about that year's ride here: http://bit.ly/eDaPZW

THREE OUTER LABYRINTHS Link
NE 115th and Shaver Take Trimet
CANCELED Maybe next year! Maybe just one labyrinth!
A tour of three public outdoor labyrinths in Portland, Clackamas and Gresham. We'll meet at the Parkrose Community Peace Labyrinth, then ride to the Kaiser Sunnyside Labyrinth via the 205 path. We'll finish by riding to the St. Luke's Labyrinth on the Springwater Corridor Trail.

One really gnarly hill at Gateway Green and another steepish slope at St. Luke's, but the rest of the ride is generally slow & easy. This ride is not a loop, but if you know how to get home from the Springwater or Powell I will get you started in the right direction.

Michael Andersen and Zef Wagner will lead a ride to the awesomest and ugliest of these new buildings and a conversation about ways the city can keep bike-friendly rents low.

Bring your bike and prepare to be awesome!

What's a parklet?
