The premise, as it has been since 2005, is the same: An approximately 10 mile casual bicycle ride (not a loop) exploring the palm trees around town, with some other exotics and evergreens thrown in, like eucalyptus, madronas, yuccas, Oregon myrtles, and more. These trees and shrubs keep the city green through our grey and cool winter months, when all the deciduous trees have dropped their leaves. Seeing a bunch of them in the middle of winter brightens the mood, and reminds us that winter here may not be as bad as we feel. After the ride ends there will be an option for interested folks to get food and libations. Ride will happen in good weather or a bit of rain. Heavy rain or wintry conditions can postpone this event, I'll announce any changes within 24 hours of the start time, check back here for deets.
