For sure. This is my first experience, by the way, so I don't know what I'm doing. Three and a half years, man.

I'm actually thinking about it. I need to find teams around here though. I don't have a car, so getting into Portland will be kind of a hassle.

That is a rough journey without a car.

Today me, roommate and a poster here went out riding bikes to Multonomah Falls, round trip total was 86miles or so(Strava crapped out on my phone). Was a good day, but fixed gears are hard to push up hills.

Overhauled the carb on my moto, replaced the cracked fuel lines on the string timmer, about to cut back all the weeds on some in-town trails. Currently blasting Hot Snakes on the record player and getting stoked for Fest 12 to happen: https://thefestfl.com/fest12/mainschedule
