Pickleball Ride #1 of 2 Let’s play pickleball! Bring your best self and your most creative trash talk, big swings, even bigger misses, laughter, and high-fives. Meet at Mt. Tabor Tennis Courts East and socialize while we all help set up. Play in daylight for about an hour, then pack up and ride to Laurelhurst Park, arriving not too long before sundown. At Laurelhurst we’ll set up glow-in-the-dark nets and lines. I’ll bring glow-in-the dark pickleballs, LED pickleballs, a pair of blinky LED paddles, glow-in-the-dark tape, UV reactive tape, and portable UV lights to light up lines and nets. I’ll bring two regular nets and two small practice nets. Show up for daylight playtime, or for glow-in-the-dark fun, or both! If you play at both locations, then it’s a real ride. Please bring your own paddle if you have one. Your grandma told me to tell you: “It could get chilly towards the end of the ride, so bring a jacket and hot cocoa.” Note: since we plan to play on public property, court availability isn’t guaranteed. However, since we have nets and line markers, “Plan B” is to improvise and look for a paved playground or empty parking lot. We’ll have another pickleball ride in July or August - the “Crazy Rules Pickleball Ride”. Stay tuned, it should be posted soon.
