So, today was the most outrageous cheat yet–and like all cheating, it reaped its reward. I’m in Portland, having come by overlapping civic buses ($6 for a trip from Olympia! And no screwover on bringing a bike!). The weather is gorgeous and I’m in a nice hostel. This is the way to live, man. I promise I’ll get back on my bike soon, as the weather will be getting “nice” all the way up to 90 degrees F, apparently, by the weekend. Mostly I just want the wind to go my way, and according to the ridiculously excellent Oregon biking map, it should. Whee!
