Just got back from BikePortland’s social hour at The Roots Organic Brewing Company. Gawd, they make good stout and heather. Anyway, here’s a pic of some people who may wish to remain anonymous due to past issues with a certain local college coed. Sorry, I’m sworn to secrecy!
A good time was had by all, and by all I mean me. A lot of people showed up – maybe 50? A couple of politicians who are running for some office or other and claim to ride their bikes in polyester blend suits were there pumping us with propaganda but no free beer, so I probably wouldn’t vote for them even if I did remember their names. Evs, as that one dude from Rockstar INXS would say.
Another reason that this was an auspicious occasion was that it was my first night ride. I had lights on both ends, and I probably should invest in some type of reflective jacket. The bike got rained on while I was inside, but I did not, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Let’s do this again soon, BikePortlanders!
