When was the last time you met someone new? Put on a nametag and meet your neighbors on this "rebuilding social connections" ride. If you're new to Portland or just looking to connect with other people outside your "bubble" please join us. This will be a slow and easy ride focused on talking with each other and socializing more than getting anywhere in particular. We'll be riding on greenways in SE Portland and ending at a food cart pod where we can have a meal and drinks with our new best friends. Please come with the intention and mindspace for meeting new people and creating connections. This is totally NOT a singles event, but who knows who you may meet!
