Took my first bike ride in months today β 145 days since my last ride (but whoβs counting π
)
I broke my collarbone last October and finally got the go-ahead to start riding again today π It was just a little amble around the block, but it felt great to be back in the saddle.

Of course ODOT piled their tools and shit in the bike lane for two years to finally finish these almost-continuous ones, and the stripes are bumpy rumble strips that are not confidence-inspiring when you have to cross them at 30mph to dodge some broken glass and other neglect. Posted speed [β¦]
Terwilliger to Tigard on Barbur Blvd with the #lectricOne eBike: 16min, 5.4miles +272ft. I think it was 51.8V ~89% (but did not write it down.)
