New Orleans music & culture appreciation ride

"America only has three cities: New York, biking in Portland, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." Tennessee Williams if he had ever experienced a Pedalpalooza ride. Let's listen to brass bands and traditional jazz while riding bikes through NE Portland, make a pitstop for snowballs & New Orleans cocktails, and then enjoy Honk!, a brass band street festival just off NE Alberta. This event is kid-friendly. Itinerary: Gather at Irving City Park at 12:00 for a 12:30 departure We'll head up to Hana's Snowballs on NE Ainsworth, just east of the intersection with MLK. During this pitstop, I'll pour interested adults their choice of a French 75 or Vieux Carre cocktail. Please bring your own glass to reduce waste. Once the group has properly had their fill of snowballs and drinks, we'll head to Honk! so we can "get out there and support some live, local music." Honk! features 11 PNW brass bands. It's a good time, there's a watermelon eating/smashing contest of sorts. If planning on attending, an RSVP to [email protected], subject line New Orleans music ride, would be appreciated. Getting my dude Alan at Hana's Snowball an approximate snowball order will help wait times and the vibe/flow of the ride immensely. Event link: https://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-24528
