Coffee Outside - another way to Always Be Coffeeneuring

A short, but truly lovely #pdxcoffeeoutside at Alberta Park.

No pix because no camera at present, but it was so nice to be able to ride to a park that was local to me, drink coffee and chat for an hour about weather, dogs, bikes and even a little about my time at Citybikes (totally okay, don’t worry).

The only downside was that I had to cut my time a little short because the city closes the park bathrooms in the fall and I really needed to find one. So I said my goodbyes, hopped on my bike and searched for a place to go. I found a porta-potty that was not locked up (thank goodness!) and then enjoyed the rest of the ride home under fast-moving clouds and a light, cold breeze.

I also made minor adjustments to my saddle to see if it would help my knees at all. I seem to be heading in the right direction, and will take some measurements from the Peugeot and see if I can dial them in on the Rivvy, which I’m now having a second thought about letting go of next spring.

Darn, it’s a lovely bike, and I DO enjoy riding it.

If you want to find out more about Coffee Outside, search for @pdxcoffeeoutside at Instagram. They announce that week’s location a day or two in advance. And you don’t even have to ride your bike there. Just show up with coffee (treats optional) and enjoy.

Ride bikes, drink coffee, enjoy life.
