The Last Wednesday Night Ride

Our Wednesday night rides are over for the season, to be resumed when daylight time returns in April.  Sonia and VA joined us for our last ride, again up to Council Crest via Terwilliger Blvd.  By 6:04 it was getting dark and riding home via Hewitt Blvd, our tail lights looked like something out of a Christmas scene or as Fixie Joe* mentioned, a disco.  He even started singing 'YMCA'.  I love these rides.

*Fixie Joe is a name picked for Joe by Craig.  He occasionally rides a single speed bike (not a fixed speed bike as Craig originally thought) and can beat most of us up a steep incline with one gear.  He's a really nice, young guy who is a Major in the US Army.  Joe has served in Iraq and Afghanistan and is currently teaching ROTC at University of Portland.  You can count on him to yell out 'car up' or 'jogger up' in a tone one might hear in basic training.  He also teaches a 'boot camp' at U of P; I have to go!
