I drove to Sellwood Riverfront Park and rode to the ride, which started at Salmon Street Springs. I was several hours early, so planned on doing a little preriding around.
Today's Alley Cat Race ended at the same location just before we began. I'm not sure if they were racing like these guys, but they all lacked the ability to shift gears.
There were no tall bikes in tonight's mix, but there did seem to be a larger percentage of fixed gear bikes.
There was plenty of bike activity to keep us all occupied. Before too long the ride organizer showed up.
We rolled out right on time, 8PM.
We rode around for a bit. We didn't get too much grief. We were a group of 100 or more, and rode like we owned the road. (we did!). We got a lot of thumbs up and voicings of support. And as usual, I heard one person ask why we weren't naked!
As we neared the end of the ride we stopped at a convenience store for snacks and beverages.
Fully supplied, we made our way to a Willamette River beach where a bonfire and beverages where enjoyed.
It was a nice night for a ride. There was a bit of wind that made it feel cool as I rode, but I was in shorts and thin t-shirt. There were a few goosebumps from time to time, but no shivering.
