On Saturday night, I participated in Portland's Night Ride for the first time. This was a unique experience. There are about 2000 people who take the 15 mile ride around Portland. It begins at Union Station at 9 pm, right before the sun goes down. The course crosses the Broadway bridge to the East side and meanders through North and Northeast Portland. There are several stops along the way that include a movie with popcorn, a disco party and all you can eat donuts at the finish. I rode with my friends Cari and Teri from school. We had a great time riding and observing the fellow bikers. Costumes are very popular and range from PJ's to hula skirts. There was even a man who did the whole ride in his birthday suit. We saw him in his full glory at the finish-lucky us! It was fun to partake in such an interesting activity!
