The above image is the ride we did on Saturday. Our little group of four made it to mile 30 before calling it quits. It was an amazing ride, the route was really well put together, it was suprisingly well marked (of course if you were headed downhill you could assume you'd turn and head up hill, and if you were going uphill you could assume you'd keep going up hill...) We headed back to NE portland and were making a stop at the 5th quadrant to get beer and burgers, it was a very slow ride up N. Williams, lots of looking down to check for flats, lots of trying to shift into a lower gear... We bonked hard riding up N. Williams - we bailed at the right time! Next year I may have to get on a bike sooner than the day of the ride!!
The garden is coming together and is a lot of work. Coming home from 8 hours at the office then transplanting tomatoes for another hour, watering, etc. This urban farmer thing is difficult. The good news is the peas are up, spinach, beets, other greens, radishes all sprouted and growing! Things are looking up on my plot o' land.
Back to the freelance work - ick.
