Lunchtime Roll
Whew. What a slog of a week. I have been sick since coming back from London and today is the first day that I have felt good enough to get out and run some errands. This is also my first opportunity to see portland with my new eyes. Left my desk at work for a bit of a roll around downtown at lunchtime.
Trusty 29er single speed. I love this bike. I got huge tires on it which give it a ride similar to a Cadillac. I’ll spec it at a later date.
Escalator hell at Pioneer Place.
A tick of cement between merging traffic is a good a place as any to practice your trumpet chops.
Portland will forever been known for it’s architectural sameness. As if just one contractor built the whole city.
Across the tracks and over to Montage. The place to go for late night Creole grub. 
The River city bikes to get a new bottom Bracket installed. This is probably the finest bike shop in Portland. Not to say that all of the others pale in comparison. Portland is full of shops that all have their own niche. River city is a good place to catch the eye candy.
Back over the Steel bridge in a matter of minutes. Looking forward to the weekend and getting to go out and explore the hills and other parts of the Rose City.
