Okay, I didn’t stay away for long. This just caught my attention and thought I would share it. This is why Portland is one of the coolest cities around. We participated in this last year, as it was right by our house, and had a blast.

Basically, they close down a bunch of streets from car use and allow only bikers, walkers etc. The route takes you to a number of different parks where there are vendors set up selling things like coffee, hot dogs, burritoes etc. It is such a great thing and a great boost for the community. Glad to see they are bringing it back again this year.
