The uncertainty of when things will open up again. The fear of things opening up too soon.

The frustrating politics. The seeming disregard for public health and safety with the protests&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday I decided to take a half day off from work. I had a holiday day I needed to use some time from and the weather was nice. I needed a mental break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I worked for a few hours in the morning and then went for a bike ride by myself. It was 80 degrees here in Portland, sunny and beautiful. It was also windy, which was unfortunate on the bike! But I still enjoyed it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/96667608_10158093300197527_8430668120808488960_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"58570\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/96667608_10158093300197527_8430668120808488960_n.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?attachment_id=58570\" class=\"wp-image-58570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/96667608_10158093300197527_8430668120808488960_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/96667608_10158093300197527_8430668120808488960_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/96667608_10158093300197527_8430668120808488960_n-690x920.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95492978_10158093300837527_1656612338251333632_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"58571\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95492978_10158093300837527_1656612338251333632_n.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?attachment_id=58571\" class=\"wp-image-58571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95492978_10158093300837527_1656612338251333632_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95492978_10158093300837527_1656612338251333632_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95492978_10158093300837527_1656612338251333632_n-690x920.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I did part of the 205 bike trail and then the trail ended and I did some of the highway out towards Mount Hood (not ideal) and then picked up the trail again and did a loop on bike trails back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95781576_10158093300612527_5397045501742809088_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95781576_10158093300612527_5397045501742809088_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95781576_10158093300612527_5397045501742809088_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/95781576_10158093300612527_5397045501742809088_n-690x920.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the beautiful day, I didn&#8217;t see a lot of people out!
