Summers in Portland are jammed with exciting (and largely free or insanely cheap) things to do. Last Friday, before heading out to a concert, Jesse and I rode our bikes downtown to watch the Portland Twilight Criterium (krI'-tir-E-&m). Basically, a bike course was set up on the streets around five city blocks, which produced a highly-technical, six-turn course. The bikers raced around the 1-kilometer course for an entire hour, averaging just over one minute per lap (or a little over 30 miles per hour). It was insanely fast. My hair blew around as they whooshed by.Today is insanely busy. My parents are in town and I want to spend as much free time as possible! Also, on the table for the next two days? Studying for my class final and finishing up my papers (which should have been done at the beginning of the week, but then Preshus arrived), and I volunteered to teach a course on house research and really, really need to go over my notes before Saturday. So, here's a video of the action -- it may be all you'll get from me for the rest of the week.
