Saddle sore

      2 Comments on Saddle sore

I woke up this morning in Beaverton needing to get home to Gresham. I had originally planned to get a lift to the MAX station and ride it home, but during the brief car ride, I somehow talked myself into biking home. Yeah, because my tailbone wasn’t sore enough from Sunday. 🙂

From downtown Portland, I crossed the river on the Hawthorne Bridge and then followed the waterfront south, past the Sellwood Bridge and caught the Springwater Corridor all the way east to Gresham.

Wow, was I really in Portland? Ample views of Johnson Creek, woods and marshland. Spotted a rabbit on the trail, sheep in someone’s field, horses in another field, roosters and a possum (or a former possum). I took a very brief breather on the way, but otherwise hammered through it. Just a bit over 17 miles.

Oh, so that’s where my quadriceps are!
