After the snow storm stopped and the streets cleared enough to allow travel by bike, we were finally able to break the pigeons out of the garage! Both Goliath and Big Beef sat quietly in their pigeon-port for nearly two weeks, disabled by our lack of studded tires and need to venture by bike in inclement weather (thank you public transit).

This being said, the whole family was itching to get out of the house and breathe the fresh air in a way you only can on a bike. With the skies gray but free of downpour, we packed the girls into the pigeons and hit the road for a leisurely ride to Voodoo Doughnuts on NE 15th and Sandy. Donuts and Stumptown Coffee are a nice way to celebrate your first ride after being cooped up indoors for far too long.

The pigeons once again performed admirably on the relatively flat four-mile ride, providing a fantastic experience for all as we took our time venturing back home, getting our road legs back while looking forward to more rides as winter wanes.
