A mixed weather weekend

We had both weather extremes over the weekend.

Saturday was depressingly dreary and wet, and yesterday was so warm and nice, it was hard to believe that just a few weeks ago the whole city was covered in snow.

On Saturday, Eleni and I dodged the drizzle and rode downtown to see a puppet show at the Performing Arts Center. The fourth floor provided a great view of cyclists zooming about on SW Broadway on their way to rides in the West Hills.

On our way home, I noticed this scene in front of a Hoyt Realty office in the Pearl District.

They must be doing some sort of bike giveaway promotion. I’ll have to look into it.

Yesterday I joined the annual Slug Velo Coffee Worship Ride out to St. Johns and then stopped at a friend’s house to watch the Big Game with a few other families. At halftime, I gave all the kids a turn on the trail-a-bike.

With most of Portland glued to their TV screens, the roads were nice and quiet. Did you got a chance to ride yesterday? If so, let us know how it went.
