It’s April! That means 30 Days of Biking and biking every day and hopefully blogging about it each day.

I biked to North Portland for a haircut today. I didn’t used to bike an hour for haircuts, but the place I went to before the pandemic shut down and as luck would have it I realized my hair stylist from 20 years ago in San Francisco lives and works in Portland now! How auspicious. It was awesome to see Tina again and it was a lovely day for a bike ride.

It was surprisingly empty out (maybe due to Easter?) so I chanced the Eastbank Esplanade on my way home. I haven’t been on it in over a year since I avoid multi-use paths when I can–they’re not great for six-foot distancing and they tend to get crowded. But it was practically empty this afternoon.

Today’s miles: 18.3
Total April miles: 68.9
