But if you had the choice between a high-performance crabon fibre racer and an old beater, bring the beater.) Casual paced ramble of up to 10 miles, mostly flat. Picnic and tea spot at/near end, bring hot tea or a way to make tea.

My first bike move!
It'll be an easy one- flat, 1.5 miles, low traffic streets, and not that much stuff (factors which would make it a good one for first timers, so bring curious friends!).
There will be coffee and sugary goodness at the start, followed by lots of food, beer, and good times at the end (possibly a fire in the backyard if enough people hang around later).
Late start time so nobody has to to get up too early and because it's only 1.5 miles.
Hope you can join us!

Food Carts, 23rd & NE Alberta Take Trimet
1:00pm, Meet up 1 PM/roll out 1:30 PM
Revamped for 2013, homes of the Alameda Ridge and Irvington!  We'll check out gorgeous historic mansions (Autzen House!) and unusual and unique ranches (Brady doppleganger!) and so much more on this easy, slow, laid-back tour along the ridge (great views!) and the north end of Irvington (~8 miles max).  Fun and a little educational.  Ends at County Cork for excellent beer and tasty Irish pub food (bring dinero!).
