Sunset/Moonrise is TONIGHT

Hey folks, tonight, Thursday May 23, marks the return of the Sunset/Moonrise series. The weather looks to be good–partly cloudy, high of 67F/17C, low of 50F/10C. Not too cold, but you should still bring layers, as we’ll be hanging out in the dark for about an hour waiting for the moon to rise. Don’t worry, during that hour you get to hang out with a bunch of cool folks!

The details:

Did you know that on the night of the full moon, sunset is usually right before the moon rise? Let’s hit up a spot where we can watch both! Stock up on snacks and libations before meeting up, then depart on a chill, slow-ish paced 5-mile (give or take) ride to our mystery destination.

Meet us at Normandale Park, near the NE 55/Wasco entrance, on Thursday May 23rd at 7:30 pm. We depart at 8.

Ride not a loop. Lights, layers, and a picnic blanket are good ideas. Extra credit if you bring a telescope or good binoculars to observe the moon.

Please note: THERE IS NO STORE STOP. There is also a market near where we end, but the ride will not stop there. There should be open bathroom(s) at the end.

Also: RIDE NOT A LOOP, we end where we stop. If you need help getting back to the start, let me know. Rest assured, we will still be in “civilization” where we end, with Tri-Met service nearby.

Sunset 8:44 PM, moonrise 9:37 PM.
