~Providence Bridge Pedal~

On Sunday morning, we rode in the 11-Bridge Providence Bridge Pedal, which is about a 35 mile route. Once a year, the city of Portland shuts down the bridges to cars and allows the cyclist to take over. There were some awesome views - not very often that you can merge on to the freeway on your bike! Plus we were able to see some parts of the city that we haven't really seen before. We got to ride with the Copes (Alex and Katrina) from church!

Getting ready before the race started.

They did the start line in waves....it's a must when there are 17,000 riders!

Waiting on the Marquam (I-5) Bridge for Alex's flat tire to get fixed!
Katrina and I!

Riding over the St. John's Bridge - I drive over this bridge every day for work! It's the oldest bridge in Portland.
The only picture of Dustin riding...he's the only one talented enough to ride and snap a photo at the same time, so he had to do a self-photo to get one! Sorry babe...but thanks for taking our pics!

Conked out little boy at the finish line - he was ready to be done!

The finish line! We made it.
