Cold Weather Challenge

Today's scooter ride home qualifies for the 2strokebuzz.com Cold Weather Challenge.

Name: Michael Morrissey
Temperature: 28°F
Distance: 10.3 miles
Location: Portland Oregon
Date: January 26, 2009
Time: 6:30 PM to 7:40 PM
Scooter: 1979 Vespa P150

Your CWC story: I was getting kind of bored with my breadloaf bus, so today I rode the rickety yet trusty old Vespa to work. I wasn’t even thinking it would be cold, but this evening was really chilly. I work in deep SE portland, and live in NE Portland. I went about 4 and a half miles out of my way on the ride home to run in and get some hippy food at New Seasons at 33rd and Alberta. There was ice and some snow outside still. I saw a red motorcycle at one point also riding, which made me happy. The food was worth the extra distance traveled on the old putt putt.

Route: Deep SE, up 82nd to Fremont, New Seasons at Alberta and 33rd. Back out Killingsworth to my house in NE.
