It’s the start of a long weekend and I’m taking a break.

We’ve had yet another exciting and busy week here on the site and I appreciate everyone who has contributed to the many interesting conversations we’ve had.

Today I’m leaving town, headed out on a bike-camping trip with my family. We’ll be joining three other families on a ride from Portland out to Stub Stewart State Park near Vernonia. It’s sort of a sequel to the family bike camping trip we did back in July 2009 to Champoeg State Park — except this time we’ll have 20 people (12 kids and 8 adults)!

No matter what your plans are this weekend, I hope you enjoy the sun and have some fun on your bike.

Since I won’t be posting any more stories (barring a major news story that I can respond to on my phone with spotty reception), I’m leaving this story on the front page. Please share your plans and thoughts and I’ll see you back here with more news on Tuesday.
