Bike update
AnnaRay biked to work on Friday without incident. She never changed gears and had to walk the bike part of the way home because it's uphill, but I couldn't have been prouder. This weekend, however, we were biking to the park - a nice leisurely ride through the 'hood - and she had her first spill. She suffered a minor flesh wound (see picture)
but got right back on and is still looking forward to braving the traffic once more on Tuesday. Bless her heart.(Random note to be filed under The Geekiness of AnnaRay: we were discussing the timing of when to have the next kid, and AR said: "If I get pregnant in September it will be perfect, because I can cover the primaries in May, have the kid and be back in time to cover the elections in the fall.)

ooooh--nice gams!
Things to know: There are two relatively painful hills on my route home, and then just happen to be right next to each other.
On Friday, I had to stop twice -- including lamely walking up the second hill.
Today, I stopped once, at the top of the first nasty risel to a) admire the view from the middle of the Broadway Bridge and b) Time myself so I hit the light at the bottom of the still-to-come steeper hill when it was green, thus building up the momentum I needed to make it up said hill without stopping.
So there. I consider it quite the moral victory.
Plus, I didn't crash. And my knee scab is healing quite nicely.
Go Heels.
You're a Portlander now, sister!
