A beautiful day for a ride (Pixie)

Springwater Trail to 205

With James roaming around Idaho with the boys my schedule has become wider than wide open. With the sun covered with clouds and a nice cool breeze, yesterday was the most fantastic day for a bike ride. It took most of the morning to decide where I was going to go, Portland is not full of car-less riding, but I eventually decided upon the tired ol' Springwater Trail. It's there, it's easy...It's also apparently full of dirty old PGE workers who couldn't resist hollering at a girl in spandex.
Aside from that the ride was amazing! The trail was full of wildflowers and I managed to spot a Blue Heron (or so I think) standing in Johnson Creek. I really wish I had brought my camera along, though it would have seriously impacted the workout.
Unfortunately, the 205 path access points from the Springwater Trail were all closed off, and I had no choice but to turn around and take the same trail home. It's never as fun as exploring.

2 hours and 25 miles later I made it back in time for a much needed nap.
