interesting people here in portland

Portland has tons of diversity and I like it! How often do you go to a bike party and meet someone who is a baton twirling, hula-hooping roller skater? Or a former professional clown who is racing cyclocross? No, neither one of these people were dressed up in their clown suits or wearing roller skates (even though they would still be accepted if they did). Bike junkies come in all shapes and sizes and it's really cool to be surrounded by this culture.
I'm heading to Salem this afternoon to do a night orienteering race and a pre-race potluck. I'm going to break myself from bringing chips and salsa and actually bake some cookies. Don't worry, I'm not going domestic on you all - cookie dough from a tube!!!!!
