Friday Night Happy Hour Cruze.. Sunday Ride..

good morning all..
can you believe this great weather?? if you are not out in it you should be.. so a few of us from Bike Me! Vancouver got together last night for a happy hour ride.. we cruzed the Vancouver water front and then across the land bridge to Fort Vancouver and on to Woody's tacos..
if you have not been to Woody's and you do like Mexican food, check this place out.. more than tacos.. after that a little trip up the street to Shanahans where we found a new bike parking rack.. very nice.. a secure place to lock up the trusty bikes..
then a ride through the hood and a stop at Safeway for pizza supplies and back home for a little outdoor fire, brews and home built pizza.. thank you to my wonderful Stephanie for providing a wonderful midnight snack..
Sunday ride.. we will cruze by the monkey at 3 to meet up with anyone who would like to ride with us.. keeping this ride very informal and loose.. decide where to go once we get to the monkey..
until later.. enjoy the weather and

Fun Sunday Ride..

hay.. we had a great ride in portland.. Mike, Christy, Stephanie, Morgan and me..
lots of peeps out enjoying the great northwest weather.. the springcreek trail was really bizeee.. nice to see.. and we only have one minor mis-adventure.. Christy had a little contact with the pavement.. one of those fast roadies cut her off and clipped her front tire.. as of this morning she is ok and her bike bell suffered the only bike damage..
another fam ride today.. getting the kids in the trailer for a slow ride to the farmers market in downtown.. should be another great day to sight see.. you know.. people watchin'..

just a note.. when riding these bike trails, curzers stay right and let the lycra, spandex wearin' speed freaks, have their left.. slow it down..geez..
