I met up with Chris at Clinton St Market (no Larry sighting for some reason) and we rolled up to the Chris King bike kingdom so he could pick his fancy new seatpost. We chilled with Aaron at Simworks (my neighbor!), bullshitting about bikes over espresso. While we were in the northwest it seemed like a good idea to stop by A Comer for some Mexican food, I had a breakfast burrito and Chris ordered clatoyo (pardon my spelling). we realized we had a ton of time before PDX Trophy Cup at Portland International Raceway stsrted so we went to Golden Pliers, taking a circuitous route there. From there we took a rambling route north and west, including part of the Columbia Slough trail, to roll in at PIR as the sun was setting. We watched races, talked to people, I ran around taking photos (I had my Nikon d850 and 35 f1.4 AF-S) and cheering for the racers i knew. Someone who aeemed to be with the race series interviewed me, asking if cyclicross was dead. I said it was and AI was to blame — i would have been shocked if that made sense. After the races were over for the night — first of 6 weekly races — we rolled out, down N Vancouver Ave. ‍ 0.9 new miles -- From Wandrer
