 https://tinyurl.com/PPDXpickleball\n\nLast year we started at Mount Tabor 
 tennis courts to play in daylight\, then rode to Laurelhurst and had a ton
  of fun playing in the dark with lots of portable lighting.\n\nWe’ll do 
 the same this year\, except we’re adding a twist to the daylight session: 
 Crazy Rules!\n\nI have a list of rules\, and we’ll introduce a rule or two
  once every 10 minutes\; this way everyone gets to play a bit before 
 learning new each rule.\n\nExamples:\n- The “no volley zone” (NVZ)\, also 
 known as the “kitchen\,” is still NVZ if you use your normal paddle\, 
 buuut … if you use a kitchen utensil or frying pan\, you CAN volley in the
  kitchen. Using a cookie sheet is highly encouraged\, and is worth 2 
 points if you hit a winning drop shot while yelling\, “Baker’s Dozen!” Do 
 you know how loud it gets when a cookie sheet hits a pickleball? I don’t\,
  and can’t wait to find out.\n- Bicycles form the net. If you “call it”\, 
 then hit a basket\, handlebars\, or bike seat with the ball\, your team 
 wins the point outright\; if you hit a ball into a basket and it stays 
 in\, that makes it a basket ball\, hence 2 points.\n- “Body parts rule”\; 
 one can only guess\, unless one joins this ride… \n- And other rules for 
 max silliness and hopefully lots of laughs.\n\nI’ll bring line markers\, a
  few paddles\, and pickleballs like last year\, but pls bring your own 
 paddle if you have one.\nEven better: please bring KITCHEN utensils\, 
 cookie sheets\, pots\, and pans that can withstand pickleball 
 hits.\n\nPlease show up early to help set up our courts (I can’t set up 
 everything quickly enough by myself). Thanks to everyone who helped last 
 year!\n\nAt Tabor we’ll start packing up a bit before sundown\, then ride 
 to Laurelhurst and set up glow-in-the-dark courts. We should have two 
 portable nets for the two “lines only” courts\, plus two courts with 
 permanent nets.\n\nNighttime play will follow normal pickleball 
 rules.\n\nFor visibility\, I’ll have lots of lights like last year: LED 
 paddles\, LED pickleballs\, glow bracelets\, EL wire to mark the net\, UV 
 reactive tape and UV lamps to make court lines glow\, and other lights 
 including a few disco lights.\n\nAnd probably some music\, yeah 
 music.\nMeet at 6:15\, play at 6:45\, ride\, play again\nEnds at
