Riding To Different Places

@radacrider, Cartlandia is where Springwater crosses SE 82nd Avenue just on the right next to the path. So that would make it east-west I believe, vs n-s by the Willamette.

@Bike Writer, I do love your sense of adventure. I would say I'm adventurous, but I feel better when I have a specific "plan" of where & how to get there. There is something to be said about the freedom and willingness to let go and just explore.

I cut my riding teeth (as an adult) on one particular side of town. While I've ridden all over the city, I feel safest in my old stomping ground. Two years ago, I moved south of the city, to an area that's fairly rural and a little bit sketchy in parts thanks to loose dogs and fast pick up trucks. It makes me far more nervous to ride around home alone, and I find myself more anxious than I'd like. But that said, I've also ridden pretty comfortably in other states and am generally game to ride most anywhere.
