Rain doesn’t dampen Sunday Parkways spirit

great opening photo.

Wished I was there; my bike was a victim of the Murray Boulevard broken glass I keep reporting to Beaverton and they keep doing nothing about…

Hmmm. I bike in the rain when I need to get somewhere, but I’m not sure that I like it enough to go out and do it “for fun”.

I was impressed by the crowds – despite the heavy rain. We set up some tents, and had a few hundred people stop by for barbecue, homebrew and cider pressing. A big thanks to everyone who made it out to our place on Emerson. It was a great day.

I had a great time yesterday. My kids (5 and 8) were pysched to be out and active in the rain. We started at 1 PM and sat out the downpour by hiding under a big tree at Fernhill.

Such a great day! Thanks PBOT!!!

Thanks for all the great support for the Cyclameleon! Hope you all liked it. Though with all that rain it probably would have been more fitting to have a giant fish on top instead of a chameleon!

I had a great time volunteering – even in the dounpour – along Cully. The cycletrack is amazing as were the folks out participating. Hope to see tens of thousands of my closest friends again next year. Hope to see folks take the plunge and be superheroes for a few hours, too!

John and I went out to enjoy the last Sunday Parkways of 2011, the third year (?) We sheltered under some trees a couple of times, but it was delightful to be out with so many other folks enjoying themselves. Thank you Sunday Parkways, Portland Police, the many volunteers and the partipants.

I think this was the rainiest Sunday Parkways in 3 years, but it was fun, and if you ride all year, rain is no big deal anyway. Everybody I saw seemed to be having a good time, the kids especially. Thanks for all of the volunteers who made it happen. I f you haven’t volunteered yet,please consider doing so next year, it is fun and an easy way to give back to the community.

Volunteered at an intersection which was fun plus it was a great networking opportunity…got to meet and/or chat with: Mia Burke, Roger Geller, Rich Cassidy, Michael Anderson, Janis McDonald and Roger Averbeck. Also helped two newbie cyclists be more comfortable on their bikes. Plus, it was an excuse to wear my neon pink, marabou-trimmed crushed velvet cape. Thank you Portland!!
