A bike commuter part two

I had so much fun yesterday, that I decided to repeat today.

I took off this morning with a full moon hanging over the western horizon, looking very much like a big scoop of orange sherbet.

I tried to get a photo with my cell phone, but alas, this is the best I managed to get. The blurry white glob in the upper right is the moon.  The other blurry white globs are street lights.


By the time I reached Terwilliger Blvd the sun was up.  The autumn colors were pretty awesome.



There was a little bit of fog hanging over Portland and the sun was low in the sky so any attempt to take a photo of Mt Hood was thwarted by a bright haze!  It would have been a much better picture with afternoon light, the fog would have been gone and the sun behind me, but alas, it was too dark when I pedaled back this evening.

It is a nice ride, a bike friendly route, and just over 1200 ft of climbing on the way in.
