and inside the free cones, they put free ice cream! 
I did this earlier but it was a very short race with only one B&Js easily accessible.

yeah, i can only think of the one location...but a ride is always fun. even though i'm not really an ice cream fan...you can't complain if it's free, right?
now if i can just convince my girlfriend that the riding will negate the extra calories and crap. shouldn't be hard.

that's cool information...i think the question was more about why "pdx" was chosen, rather than, say, "por" or "pdo" or somesuch. perhaps that, and why it became the city's nickname. no one calls los angeles "lax". not that i've ever heard.
