Old Library Branches Ride

Portland is a city of libraries! There are currently 14 active branches of the Multnomah County Library within city limits (plus Central). But there have been many more branches that have come and go. Some of these branches moved to their current location, some simply closed, now forgotten. Many old library buildings still remain. You may pass by these old branches every day without noticing! This 20 mile ride will pass by about a dozen former branch buildings. This ride will concentrate on SE with a start in NE and a possible SW detour. This is a casually paced ride with many stops, no one left behind . Ride not a loop, will end somewhere in Montavilla, nearish the MAX. We'll have a good break mid-way through the ride for refreshments, and we can also get food and libations afterwards.
