Bike Ride
Ride today
I wanted to get a closer look at (and some pictures of) the railroad bridge between the Fremont and St.Johns bridges.
My route took me across the St. Johns bridge, and I think that was the first time I had ever crossed it... maybe. It's possible I had done so a long time ago and just forgotten. When I reached the west side of the Willamette, I debated whether to continue northward to Sauvie Island, but in retrospect I'm glad that I didn't. Tiiiired. Next time I'll get there or to Kelly Point Park. We'll see.
I brought extra water and a pbj (which always tastes wonderful in the middle of a bike ride) and a banana. My legs are tired and I might have gotten a little sunburnt. Not too badly, though.
Also, I stopped at REI on the way back and bought a pair of shades and some fingerless bicycle gloves. Perhaps REI should have been a stop on the way out but at least I'll have them for next time.
It's time for a shower and about a gallon of water to drink. :u
