Ride is a loop
For over a year, I've been borderline obsessed with finding my favorite Portland bike route. The ride I can do from my front door and never fails to see me home happy, regardless how I left. It includes so many of the things I love most about biking, and it's pulled me out of some pretty dark places. More detailed blog post here: https://austingil.com/luger/ Things to note, this is a 30-mile. There are plenty of options for food, drink, bathrooms along the route, but I don't have any specific stops planned. I'll do a few regroups and share directions as we go, but feel free to download the route and take it at your own pace: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50835744 Stopping at WonderLove food truck pod on SE 3rd and SE Main at the end of the ride for food and drinks.
