Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit. - Victor Hugo
Get to Portland. That's all that today's ride asks, all that it promises, all that it delivers. The rain is a sideshow. It's cold from the get go, the rain soaks me to the bone, but I eat it all up with the prospect of that long-awaited rest.
Portland appears in the afternoon on a bike path populated with heavily tattooed hipsters, then city streets, then hugs and a warm bed. I made it.
