alt.Portland and bike culture 
Wuhoo! The new alt.portland is up!
If you're familiar with the old alt.portland, well, yes, it doesn't look any different. This is the problem of concentrating on content. I may try to whip up a quick design later today. But I am so relieved and happy that it is updated and live and all that.
Previously, I had thought that I would send out a self-promo email now, saying that it was new and live. But since it looks just like it did, and I've really only pruned out-of-date content, maybe it's too early for the self-promotion. However, I know that the guide used to be seen as an important document, and it's fallen from grace, and I want to restore that grace ASAP.

I tried a variation on my usual route this morning, and I feel like it was a big improvement. Less street riding, more cutting through parking lots and riding on sidewalks. It is cool and sunny out, a beautiful day to be out on a bike. And as usual, that's been the highlight of the day.

We found some fun bike propaganda yesterday. Try these on for size:

Just in time for my Portland trip; yeah! I'm looking forward to trying a new place to eat and a tasty new beer or two for my pre-marathon meal Oct 8th.
