Ok! I’m on my way. Got the bike to Portland ok and assembled in baggage claim with minimum swearing, which is pretty good considering I left for the airport at 5am after getting three hours of sleep. It should be noted that southwest changed their bike policy to charging $75 instead of 50 to fly with a bike, leaving frontier as the lone airline that doesn’t rip you off when traveling with bikes. Also of note is that Portland airport has a bike assembly station (a bike stand) next to the baggage claim! Unfortunately, I didn’t know until I already had my stuff scattered all over the carpet.
\nWays to know you’re in Portland:
\n1. When you give your bike box to the guy collecting the garbage, he says that’s he’s been “picking these up all week”
\n2. There’s a bike path leading directly from the airport terminal
\n3. On said bike path, you encounter a squadron of four people rollerblading while pushing baby carriages. <\/p>\n

Right now I’m getting brunch and pie! Next I’m gonna make my way to the Columbia River gorge scenic highway, where hopefully I’ll find a place to take a nap! <\/p>\n
