Today I:

Pulled a Squirrelli and meant to go on a really nice ride on the Prez, but realized I didn't have any way to take my aqua with me, so I huffed my bag and camera as well.

I ended up going another 20 miles (same route as last time, the Portland Esplanade to the Spring Water Corridor) and I decided to hook up the computer just to keep a better track of our distance. Ended up topping out at 28.9 mph. My computer doesn't have average speed (which would be a nice function) but I'd guesstimate it to be around 15mph. I have to say I find it quite frustrating to leave the house thinking I have all the tools I'll need only to forget a few halfway into the ride. All in all, it was a good day (and happy hour tonight, so a good night as well)



^About a quarter into the ride my buddy and I stopped off at Oaks Bottom Park. Nice to sit by the water and breathe the fresh air.



^Top speed of 28.9 mph. I wonder just how accurate this wireless setup is, because my previous fastest on the road bike was 27 mph...



^The bullhorns are a bit uncomfortable on the wrists after awhile, but it also doesn't help to carry around the water bottle + DSLR
