Two Group Rides!

Friday @ 4:30pm – Opening Night Ride led by the Street Trust (full details)

Meet up at Movie Madness and ride over to the Clinton Street Theater, with plenty of time to get snacks, merch, and use the bathroom before the short films start. Big thanks to The Street Trust for leading this ride!

Saturday @ 9am – Fun Ride with Abe and the Paperclip (full details)

Just like last year, Abe Alkhamees will lead us on a nice ride around Portland, approx 19 miles long, but with options to cut it short (full route here). Meet up at Upper Left Coffee Roasters.


We are still looking for a few more volunteers

We are looking for volunteers to help out at the festival on Friday and Saturday. If you’re interested in helping out, please reach out to Olivia or reply to this email.
