I think I’m gonna plan a longer hang time trip some time this summer and I’ll hit you up. We spend most of our time SE now because my sister’s new pad is in Hillsdale.
I’m up in St. John’s now and going downtown is a chore. North portland is a paradise
North Portland has gentrified spectacularly in the last decade and is now totally awesome for the kind of bougie folks who can afford to live there.

Even Longview/kelso is having a housing boom, of all godforsaken resource extraction shitholes. Proximity to I5 is key.
Longview has a nice neighborhood

Sorta interesting interview with Gerard Vroomen here:
I’m not sure I agree with his assessment that what we’re currently calling “gravel” bikes will come to be a bigger category than either road or mountain, but I like that he’s out there, thinking those thoughts while designing that kind of bike for everyone.
I could definitely see “gravel” bikes outpacing the road category, as they are basically the road bikes that people almost everyone should be buying.
Agree that marketers need to come up with a better name, though.
