Today I was on the MAX train that got sent back to the barn. Got on at the Beaverton Transit Center, and mechanical problems forced everybody off at the Sunset Transit Center. Decided that waiting for the next train full of people and bicycles was just going to be too much of an inconvenience. Rode up to Hwy 26, up and over into PDX.

Tonight the train was delayed by the Occupy Portland rally. So, I decided to do the reverse trip. I didn't know that SW Canyon doesn't go through a tunnel (outbound) until today.

I was following another cyclist (who opted to go through the zoo), but stopped to prune those *%$##&!!! black locust weeds that were hanging out into the bike lane approaching the bike route to the zoo, and still managed to catch up to the guy before we got to the Sunset MUP at Sylvan.

Lots of hot, noisy, damp miles today, but I made it.

No photos, my camera's on the fritz again... could be the batteries, but really, both at the same time?
