Another Week in PDX

Last Sunday I boarded a very early flight at Love Field headed to PDX. Once again I was heading to Portland for a Bikeways Design Course put on by Portland State University and their Initiative for Bicycle and Pedestrian Innovation (IBPI). It was essentially a week of talking about bikes, riding bikes, and then having fun at night. Pretty much awesome.

We rode around with the Bike Coordinator and the Traffic Engineer for the City of Portland. We rode over 50 miles over four days. 

When it was all over, I went to a Portland Timbers game with a friend from the class. Do you know that soccer fans are cuh-razy?! In a good way (mostly). We were in the "army" section, which not only is full of fans who stand the entire time, but has "capos" that lead the fans in cheers throughout the game. The game got exiting at the end and ended up ending in a tie (I just used "end" three times in that sentence....now four).

And then it was time to go, but not before hitting up Blue Star Donuts.
