Time To Change

Hello everyone, I want to start off by saying we truly appreciate those of you that follow us and have made it out to the rides. We have been a little slim the past few weeks in attendance and it has been hard for me to attend myself. So I have looked to the Brady Bunch for some inspiration which came from their classic Time to Change. "When it's time to change, then its time to change. Don't fight the tide, come along for the ride, don't you see. When it's time to change, you've got to rearrange"

So starting Thursday October First we will move the regular ride to Thursday evenings at 3:30 PM. I have also heard quite a bit of feedback to move the ride to the East side so we are moving the starting location to the Vera Katz statue on the Eastbank Esplanade. For those of you that aren't familiar her bronze statue is located on the South end of the esplanade just off of Madison Ave and next to the Portland Fire EMS Station. We will also start with one main route of heading out the Springwater trail and depending on weather on the crowd we can go as long or short as we would like. From time to time we may change the route but again this is meant for people to meet and chat.

I also know as a lifelong Portlander that the rain is about to come which may detract people as well. As we get closer to that time where only the die hards go for joy rides we most likely will move the ride inside where it is warm and cozy and most likely this establishment will serve wonderful Portland beer. If anyone has ideas or a place that would like to host us let me know?

I hope to see more of you out there in the coming weeks with this change and I hope I don't make this more difficult to those who have come out in the past.
