40 miles plus a full moon

 I had invited a few Facebook friends to celebrate tonight's full moon with a short little night bike ride and a stop or two for an adult beverage. I had time to ride to the ride, plus do a lap of Portland's 40 mile loop.

The forecast called for rain later in the day, but after a few morning sprinkles the afternoon was dry. I finished up the 40 mile loop and had some time to spend before the advertised 6:30PM start for the full moon ride.  I rode out to Weidler Street and grabbed a fast food fish sandwich meal.

As the 6:30PM start time loomed it became obvious that I was going to be riding alone.  No problem, the roads were still dry, and though I didn't think there would be much fun in stopping for beverages, I did want to ride the route, just to preview for future full moon events.

The moon cooperated and showed it's full moon self.


It was a nice evening to pedal, cool but not wet, though a few sprinkles did fall at times.  The roads never got splashy.  I finished up the route quickly since I did not stop at the three planned sites.

I pedaled back to my starting point near Bridgeport Village and called it a night.
