We'll ride from Willamette Park to Goose Hollow, MAX up to the Zoo and ride back down to Willamette Park. Most of the ride is on city streets and there are some hills, both up and down (so this is a bit harder than my usual rides). Between 15-20 miles. Bring $$ and/or a ticket for the MAX ride. We’ll probably go somewhere for lunch after the ride. Please let me know by Wednesday Oct 1 at 9 pm if you plan to attend, in case I need to cancel because of weather.
Meet: 9:45 am for a 10 am departure, in front of Fulton Pub at 0618 SW Nebraska St., near the entrance to Willamette Park. There should be plenty of parking on Nebraska St. or other side streets.
