Powell Butte is a park with many trails suitable for biking. It hooks up with Springwater Corridor on the south side, so I decided I would ride over it. It opens with a really steep, but paved hill that will literally take your breath away (from pedaling). After I took a five minute break, I zig-zagged the rest of the way up the hill. Once I got to the top, though, it was easier going. I grabbed the paved trail and went on my way. After riding for about 20 minutes, I was very close to where I had started. Powell Butte has many trails to choose from and I had no idea which to choose. Except it occurred to me that the &#8220;Old Holgate Trail&#8221; might take me down to Holgate Street which is south of Powell. It did and I came out very close to Buddy&#8217;s house. I was going to stop and leave a copy of the Constitution in his door (my new calling card) but his truck was in the driveway and his front door was open. He doesn&#8217;t work on Friday so we chatted for a few minutes while I plotted my new course with my bike map. I didn&#8217;t think I had much left in the tank so I threw out the Springwater Corridor course, which jogs south a few miles, and adopted a new course crossing southeast Portland into downtown. As it turned out, I was not very fatigued as I pedaled up the ramp to the Hawthorne Bridge. Sadly, they had the drawbridge open and were doing some sort of maintenance which took a very long time. I stood patiently and listened to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Handsome_Boy_Modeling_School\" target=\"wikipedia\">Handsome Boy Modeling
