Details:

Short out-and-back route to THE BEST DONUTS in Portland celebrating Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.     
What's so good about the shortest day of the year, you ask?     
It means that starting at 8:29am on Thursday the days will start getting l-o-n-g-e-r!  

Yahoo!  So let's pedal and eat the finest donuts in the metro area.  We'll ride the pretty Alameda area, stop at Annie's, and pedal home.  Bring a lock or don't.  We lean our bikes against the building and it's all windows.

NEW STARTING POINT:  Pearson Air Museum, same place we're staging RACC for 2018.  On-street parking by the museum.  We probably shouldn't use their lot in case a school group is visiting.
