Pedalpalooza: The Bookstore Bike Ride!
Starting Location: Broadway Books
Visit up to 16 bookstores each day in 3-4 hours!
These two bike rides will be led by Tom Murray, who is himself an owner of a bookstore in Hood River (Artifacts Books). On Saturday (June 22nd, 12 o'clock) we will begin our ride at Microcosm Bookstore and end our ride at Revolutions Bookshop, in St. Johns; and on Sunday (June 23rd, 12 o'clock) we will begin our ride at Broadway Books and end our ride at Wallace Books, in Sellwood. If all things go well, you will have the chance to discover, in the course of 3 - 4 hours, as many as 16 bookstores that are scattered across the east side of the river, in basements, alleyways and on boulevards. For that reason, we will not linger at any bookstore for more than 5 minutes. We hope to see you then.
