This ride will tour public art and Public Works sites that mimic natural waterways, including the Oregon Convention Center rain garden and the downtown Open Space Sequence. It will be a relaxed paced ride (8-10 mph) along low-stress bikeways, with frequent stops to show off gems of Portland art, architecture and inspiration that represent our connection to the natural world, specifically rivers and streams.

This is a no-drop loop ride perfect for folks new to Portland, new to the bike or just getting back on their wheels. About 8 miles long round trip. Coffee and restroom available at the start location, we'll provide the donuts!.

Bring a friend because no one is left behind! Bring appropriate clothing - you know Portland weather, always interesting, and we'll ride rain or shine.
Free and open to everyone. Made possible with support from the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund.
