[OHPV-list] Bent Outreach

[Michael.Wolfe@kp.org]

We had a very nice ride on Sunday.  Jonathan Maus took to my TE like a 
fish to water.  We waited around Gateway for 30 minutes for other riders 
to arrive, and things looked bad when it started lightly drizzling and no 
one showed up.  But we hit the road anyway, determined to make the most of 
it.  The rain soon stopped, and we ran into Slug on the 205 path.  That 
made a companionable foursome.  Then we encountered Kirke and Cathy just 
as we got to the Springwater, and we had a quorum for a genuine OHPV 
event!  The weather held until we got to the General Store, and we had a 
light snack there.  It started drizzling pretty intently after that, 
though, and our ride back to Gateway on Marine Drive was a little damp. 
Though I was just wearing wool trousers (nothing waterproof) and did not 
find that my clothes got particularly soggy.  It was a great day for 
riding by the standards of the past few weeks!

Anyway, Jonathan's a swell fellow, and a lot of Portland bike enthusiasts 
read his site.  He gave us a fun write up, and took some pretty pictures. 
You can see his take here:

I loved Dave's comment as the roadies they passed recognized Jonathan, "Uh 
oh, you're in trouble now!"

Enjoy!
