Hello folks! It’s getting to be that time of year again, time for the National Train Day Ride! I had scads of fun co-leading this thing last year. And once again I’m co-leading with Dan from Cafe Unknown and Sir Andrew. It’s going to be shorter this year, and loop around the central city. Here are the details!
NATIONAL TRAIN DAY 2014
Saturday May 10, 11 am to 3 pm
Union Station, 800 NW 6th Ave, Portland (Meet by stone obelisk in front of station, at corner of 6th & Irving)
Experience how Portland history has been shaped by rails. This 10-15 mile ride is a joint project of Urban Adventure League, Dan Haneckow of Cafe Unknown, and Sir Andrew. This ride will start at Union Sta. and head to sites around the central city, ultimately ending at the Oregon Rail Heritage Museum near OMSI in SE. Ride not a loop. Train Day festivities start at Union Station at 10am, GET THERE EARLY if you want to check it out!
Reblogged this on Urban Adventure League and commented:
Reminder: The ride is THIS SATURDAY! Come along if you can.
What kinds of places does the ride go? Is it like a tour of rail related places with a tour guide?
Yes.
