So one thing I left out about my trip home from Portland Yesterday was the fact I did a rideshare. For those of you who don't know what this means is I checked Craigslist.org for people who wanted to leave Portland on the same day I did and who wanted to go to Oly. Well I found a person.
It was really nice, I had someone to talk to the way back to Oly and she chipped in on gas (the real reason I did this). All in all it was good, we discussed dogs, cats, shitty roommates, and bad movies. I hope that it will work out in a similar fashion next time.
I'm kinda in love with craigslist at this point. For one I found my current job and two, I got a cool traveling companion outta it.
Oh yeah, so the whole reason I wrote the above is that the person who drove back with me talked about doing a travel log. She talked about driving across the States and writing a book about it. I'm thinking about riding my bike from Oly to Pasadena soon. I thought it could be cool to write about it and maybe try and get it published (as she suggested I do), or just write about it here. We'll see.
For now I'm thinking I'll just ride my happy ass down to Portland in the summer. It's only about 100 miles, which I did no problem last summer. The only thing is last summer I had ridden all year and really didn't take any time off from riding. This year (school year is what I guess I mean) has been more then a little different. So if I want to ride to P-town I need to really start riding more and riding longer. It's just hard to find time what with work and school and tons of homework. Oh well I'll work something out.

craigslist is actually where we found our bitchin' apartment.
I need to start riding (or something) too. It's so freeking cold though, and I haven't managed to find time yet. Ah, so many excuses....
Craigslist is the shit, as they say. Yeah last winter I really only rode to and from work. I never did anything else. But still that was four miles a day, four days a week. Now I'm lucky if I get eight miles in four days.
