Look-Outs and Vistas
 start of ride
 
We just took full advantage of Portland's sunshine and gathered up some friends and took an incredible tour of vistas and look-outs last Saturday.  14 riders showed up at 8am (!?!) for coffee and doughnuts (mmmm, doughnuts!) before heading out for an awesome ride.
 
We set out for Council Crest riding in formation, getting waves and smiles from everyone we passed.  There were all sorts of bikes and people represented in our little motley crew.  Unfortunately the clouds rolled in and obscured our view (grrrr...) after some pictures and story swapping, we headed over to Mt. Tabor.  We talked about scooters and made a new friend who joined us on our ride!  The sun must have known i had to head back to Vespa Portland to open up shop, because it popped out and warmed us up right when i had to leave!
 
The rest of the group continued on to Powell Butte and finished the ride at Crown Point followed by lunch at The Edgewater.  Thanks for organizing the ride Kelly-Shane!
