Bakery to Bakery Ride

The rainy day that was predicted really didn't materialize.  There were a few light showers overnight, and some persistent drips this morning, but by late morning the roads were dry.  I had some chores to attend to, so taking the morning off from riding was ok.

By late in the day I decided I needed to go ride some.

I decided to go preview the starting location for tomorrow's ride.  While doing that I thought maybe a review of a previous starting location would be fun too.  The group I've been riding with lately likes to start at bakeries, so today's ride would be a bakery to bakery trip.

The first bakery on today's agenda would be the one we started at in August.

Today I was the only cyclist there.

I pedaled back toward the Willamette River.

All the fancy bike infrastructure would make Seattleites jealous.

I crossed the Tilikum Bridge to the west side of the Willamette River and arrived very soon at tomorrow's meeting point.

I rode another block to see North America's largest bike parking lot.

I turned around and rode back toward the Tilikum Bridge.

I crossed the bridge and pedaled back to Sellwood.

There was a pretty neat sunset tonight as I was driving home.  I took advantage of a red light to snap this photo.

Sorry about all the wires, but I didn't get to choose the location of the red light!
