what a great saturday. abra and i made plans to ride to sauvie island. for some reason. it was a cold and drizzly (ok, rainy) morning and by mile 15 neither of us could feel our feet. by mile 30 i was debating at what point i could call sarah for a ride and not be a complete weiner. however, 41 miles later i dropped abra off at home (with my god kitten ruby, who is now in heat) to warm up. 42 miles later i hosed my bike off in sarah's back yard and began the defrosting process. then i ate a delicious proscuitto and salami sandwich. life is sooooo good. now i go work and send out some orders...and then i go drink hot chocolate with whipped cream at chance of rain.

i know sauvie island is "about 20 miles from downtown portland" i've also driven out that way before. so i have no idea why i thought it would be about a 20 miles ride. or at least an easy ride...oh well. i'm just glad i made it! if i can stay up past 6pm, i think it's a good night to go out and enjoy myself.
