Flew from from NC to Portland for Cycle Oregon today. Will catch the chartered bus to the start of the weeklong ride in the am. Ventured into downtown Portland using light rail. Went to Burnside Brewery as a first stop. Complimentary beers due to a connection with my daughter. What a great start to the week!! Enjoyed a few then headed to another brewery with wood fired pizzas. Seeing lots of cyclists on city streets.

Very cyclist friendly city. Also the most local breweries of any city anywhere with 57. There must be a correlation between brews and cycling???


I will probably pay for this come mile one....
