Hawthorne Bridge at about sunrise. Can’t tell because for the clouds.

I usually don’t take the train home after work because I hate waiting I just want to ride. The bike afford some head clearing time and a challenge.

On the way home in the afternoon, roses at the Japanese Test Roase Garden. Portland is known for her roses.

In Beaverton overlooking traffic, they look like monkeys locked in a cage.

Bringin’ the Commuter back

Today I finished up the Kona project and converted the Jake the Snake into my daily commuter.  I will be travelling about 10 Miles a day, so the need for a geared tough bike was necessary.  I added a rack, fenders, and my old panniers.  I have lights and am ready for a test run either Friday or Saturday.

Here’s to cyclocross bikes making awesome commuters!
