Best Morning Ever

Stumptown coffee on Belmont.
Josh and I huddle at the front window, chatting.
Not only did I get to sit within mere feet of a local pro cyclist whose blog I read religiously, I also got to watch in awe as other whippet-like riders gathered around me.  From our perch we could watch as they rolled up […]
