Bike Trip '08

I decided to go fir a bike ride with my friends last month...

We ate at the finest establishments...



Climbed in cages with pet bears...



And nearly melted in the desert of Utah!

Those 2 middle pics were taken in the "town" of Mitchel, Oregon. Not much going on there, except for the town's celebrity Hugh and his PET BEAR! Yeah, he keeps it in a large cage at his gas station, feeds it, shovels its shit, and wrestles the damn thing! When he asked if I wanted to get in the cage to take a better pic I jumped on the opportunity. After snapping off a couple I realized I was in a cage with a bear... and got the hell out!

Anyway, upon retuning to stumptown I realized that y'all blog a lot. (except lucky) Hopefully I'll get caught up with the OLY trials coverage by the time the real games start!

Look at all the people with cameras running! I don't think that lens is long enough to pole vault with.
