MeetIn Portland Ride

I finally got a response to an e-mail I sent James over the weekend about meeting at the Pride Parade. He told me there was a ride tonight downtown sponsored by MeetIn Portland. Everyone was fully clothed, but I went anyway because I was looking for a ride tonight.

The ride started off at the waterfront, on the Willamette River and wound around on a multi-use trail that ran parallel to the river called the Springwater Corridor. It was really pretty and went on for miles and miles. Overall it was a really good ride. I'm looking forward to hitting the trail again at some point.

The weather was beautiful today and there were a lot of people out enjoying the trail and the parks the trail wound around through. It was funny - everywhere I turned it was like someone was filming a TV commercial for a new anti-depressant - two couples enjoying a picnic, the lady and her dog playing fetch, 3 guys playing frisbee, people feeding geese, a group of people doing Tai Chi.

Completely unrelated, I've racked up 50 miles since Friday night on the bike. The odometer now reads 150+ miles. I rock.

It's a good thing you don't live in Norfolk now. You wouldn't be able to ride anywhere for all the smoke!
