Hills Ride #3
On Saturday I joined some friends for my second hills ride of the year and it did not disappoint. We climbed to Pittock Mansion, back to downtown, up to Washington Park, up Skyline, down Cornell, up the San Francisco-esque NW Brynwood Ln. It took me two breaks but I made it up that one in the granny gear of my mountain bike. We all watched in awe as a gentleman in his mid-fifties cruised by us at a steady pace, able to converse easily on a Bike Friday. Then we headed over to Forest Park and cruised down Saltzman and Leif Erickson through the thick snow flakes to arrive tired and happy at McMenamin's Blue Moon on NW 21st. The wood stove and a couple Terminator Stouts for me was the perfect recovery.
