Come Ride With Us... To The Rice Mineral Museum

The Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals is located in Hillsboro, Oregon, about 20 minutes west of downtown Portland. The Rice NW Museum is home to the "Alma Rose" Rhodochrosite from the Sweet Home Mine in Alma, Colorado. The museum also boasts the largest opal-filled thunderegg in the world, crystallized gold bigger than your hand, dinosaur eggs and fossils, an extensive meteorite collection, and hundreds of other attractions. The Rice Museum has become nationally recognized. It is the finest rocks and minerals museum in the Pacific Northwest, and one of the best in the nation. The admission fee is $7.00.

The ride is open to all scooters and motorcycles, OSC members and non-members. If cold weather riding is not your thing, or family members want to participate, feel free to join us in an car. The meet up is at 11:00 AM and kickstands are up at noon.
