Yes. Enjoying Portland is exactly what the problem is. My new digs are on the river in the John's Landing area (not far from the aerial tram). I just bought a new kayak and the ski areas are close. Add in the great restaurants/bars everywhere plus loads of friends, and it's clear that long solo rides have some serious competition for time.
