Bridge Pedal 2007!

Today is one of my favorite days of the whole year - Bridge Pedal day!! It's the one day when cars are inconvenienced while bicycles (I heard 20,000!!!) take over the streets (and bridges) of Portland.

Sean, Karen, Brad, Eryn and I loaded up the folks' truck and headed downtown before 7 a.m. to begin the 26-mile journey across eight of the city's spans. Here's us on the top deck of the Marquam Bridge:

I stopped for quite a while to listen to the bagpipe band on the top of the Fremont Bridge. We got separated, but Brad knew he would find me there - I LOVE bagpipes :)

Brad chomped on a union banana while we listened:

It was a good day! Next year, all 10 bridges.....
