I rode to work with Zoe this morning. She came to my place, then we biked downtown, accross northwest and then to the Tuality Geriatric Psychiatry Center via Cornell. The center is just past the Grande Lodge in Forest Grove. Also, note that this involved climbing the west hills! Whoo Hoo! I have to say that I felt pretty tired toward the end. I know I can do the STP, but man, I biked some 200 miles in the past 5 days and I am bushed. What is it going to feel like to bike that in 2 days? Ah, too late to worry now!I decided Hillsboro doesn't like cyclists. First some guy yelled at me. Then someone threw thier Big Gulp cup at me! It hit me in the head and then on the arm. I coulda died!! Anyway, I turned out okay and made it back home safely. Unfortunately, I went to the Waterfront Blues Festival afterwards and all that outside time left me with a little sunburn. Boo Hoo. The most exciting thing is that my maximum speed clocked at 43 mph. whoooooo! I felt like my eyeballs were going to pop out of my head! start approx. 8 AM, 54.37 mi, av 13 mph
