Icy Update
Just to give an update (and to brag a bit) I did end up riding to work last Monday. I also ended up doing a few other activities by my bike during the really cold spell we had.
- PIR’s Winter Wonderland Bike Night. Some friends and I got together and rode up to Portland International Raceway and got to tour the track’s light display on our bikes. Way cooler than in a car, I’d reckon. Also: Free hot chocolate after.
- Biking to bars. I went to Hop and Vine (~1.5 miles) and Kennedy School (4 miles) to see some friends on different nights. Hooray for Zombieland.
- Disc Golf. Luckily PJ lives near Pier Park, because going from being on a bike for 30 minutes to being outside walking for a while wouldn’t have been fun.
So I can’t let the cold stop me from cycling to work and the activities I love. Let’s see if I can live with the rain in the same way.
