much or as little as they like.

tradition, New Haven style in particular. California gourmands and
die-hard Chicagoans are welcome but requested to keep heckling to a

more social pace.

faster pace.

from beginner to intermediate riding.

<br>Portland has so many great, old theaters!
For some reason, this city still has a number of cinemas
and vaudeville houses from the 'classic era'
-- 1910's to 30's -- still standing, some of which still are
active theaters today.
This bicycle ride will explore various neighborhood theaters
on the east side of the Willamette -- some still standing,
some only a memory.
The entire ride will cover approximately 6 miles in about
3 hours of time.
After the full ride, we hope to take in a movie at one of
Portland's classic movie palaces;
bring appropriate cash if you would like to join us!
