TheScooterScoop

(Patrick from P-Town Scooters droppin’ knowledge during the Stumptown Classic)

This past weekend kicked off Portland’s longstanding mid-summer rally, formerly known as Rally From Hell. Happening primarily in the city of Portland, Oregon (aka: Stumptown), this year’s rally is hosted by seven clubs. This is “how it went down”:

Our theme: THREE TIMES THE HARM!

Friday Night:

* 6-9 PM: Meet & greet and registration at Squeez.
* Hosted by Loose Slots Scooter Club.
* Squeez is a cool little bar specializing in drinks made with their own hand-sqeezed fruit juices. Limited munchies provided. Off-street parking provided by Squeez.

* 9 PM: House party at Scooter Alley with a keg and snackies.
* Hosted by Puddle Cutters Moped Army.
* Ride to the party led by the Brown Note Staff.
* Midnight: Midnight mystery ride led by the Puddle Cutters.

Saturday:

* 9 AM-Noon: Breakfast at Corazzo Design.
* Hosted by Lucky Bastards Scooter Club, sponsored by Corazzo Design.
* Breakfast burritos (meat and veggie), coffee and Voodoo Doughnuts are provided as you peruse the newest offerings from Corazzo Design.

* 10 AM-3:30-ish PM: Division/Clinton Street Neighborhood Association Street Fair and Parade. This is an alternate event to the scenic ride and will not join-up with the ride.
* At 10:00 we”ll leave Corazzo to queue up to do something cool

From what I’ve seen, looks like a hell of a time! Seventy scooters showed up as well as peeps from the Moped Army… people partied… They showed up on the News this year (instead of another episode of COPS). Oh and… I didn’t know Portland did “Breakfast Burritos”!? I guess we’ll have to do pancakes and coffee for the Austin Rally.
