3 Unusual Things

I rode my bike to work this morn­ing. Here are three unusual things that happened:

  1. There was a sleep­ing rac­coon right in the bike lane! I sup­pose he got tired of wait­ing to get across the “Dundee traf­fic”. That’s smart. Pos­sums are a lot less patient. (I guess my “I share the road” sticker means more than I thought)
  2. I got honked at by a pretty girl (OK, it was Deanne, dri­ving past on her way to class)
  3. I almost ran into a parked car (riding straight into the sun, I tilted my helmet/visor down to shade my eyes, and then was study­ing the pave­ment a little too long!)

Been Bikin…

Last week­end was the trip to Black Butte with the guys. After meet­ing at 6 a.m. last Friday morn­ing, we headed over to Black Butte for break­fast at the lodge.

Breakfast at Black Butte

Later that morn­ing we climbed Black Butte (you can drive 3/4 of the way up, and then hike the last 2 miles). The view and weather were both spectacular.

On Sat­ur­day four of us rode a thrilling down­hill (mostly!) ride from Mt. Bach­e­lor to Bend. I’m all charged up, and I think I can make it until our spring trip! Another high­light: the hot tub and swim­ming pool con­struc­tion was finished!
