instead of biking into work this morning, I biked into downtown Portland this evening. I covered about the same distance there & back, but the terrain is hillier. Notably, there is a very steep hill right as you cross into the downtown area. I didn't have to get off and walk, so I consider that a win. I had dinner, biked to the Old Port area, watched some musicians and jugglers, then biked back. No timing on this one as I was taking it easy.
