right now, at quarter to two in the afternoon, there are mad heads on here.
why don't we all go for a ride? say esplanade?
come get me out of work and then i'll ride. :(
i shall gather the work-release-ninjas and we will shuriken your way to freedom.
Call my wife and tell her to let me go, hahaha
i don't get off work 'til 5pm :(
shuriken work through phone lines. but i'm not responsible for any marriage difficulties they may create...
weltall82:i shall gather the work-release-ninjas and we will shuriken your way to freedom.
work-release-ninjas! can you really do that?
Boooo work.
alex:I ride in the west hills a lot.
My favorite route is to go from downtown up Terwilliger and do a loop around Council Crest. From there I go up to Skyline and ride that to Thompson road. Thompson takes me into NW and then I go on that unmarked road off of Burnside up to the zoo through Washington Park. I take Skyline back to Council Crest and come down Dosch road back to my house in SW. I have on idea how long this is... 25-30 miles probably...
thompson is fun! there is a short "after work" ride I sometimes do that goes up lovejoy/cornell then goes up thompson and down germantown to hwy 30. you can also extend this ride to 40 miles if you keep going down skyline straight instead of right at germantown then take a right on ridge road(i think it's ridge road). and down to hwy 30.
so apparently i dont have a soccer ball.
someone bring one tonight!! psu blocks

For my weekend ride I usually ride from sellwood to lovejoy and up thompson to skyline then, like you said, pass germantown and ride along the ridge. I drop down to hwy 30 at Rocky Point Rd. It's about 55 miles. Add another 12 miles with a loop around Sauvie Island.
Alex and crossett, you guys up for a Saturday west hills ride? I love those hills. Crossett's ride sounds perfect. I was planning on a solo century but i'd love company.

Maybe... There's a chance I might be going out of town this weekend though. I'll know more tomorrow.
Sadly, Saturday is my last day in Portland for a while and I'll be packing up my possessions. I go to the Bay where the playas play.
Thanks for the invitation.
Boo. I am gone for 2 weeks after Saturday myself. I am eloping to Alaska. Woot.
