Comments:

Really nice ride overall. Not a race, which was OK. Tried to start as early as possible but still got caught up in crowds. Reportedly 20,000 people on hand for the ride! No one stopped in front of me on the hills but had plenty of people swerving all over the place or riding extremely slowly on the left side of the route. Didn't really leave much room to get by. Would have been nice if the organizers had reviewed biking etiquette with those that don't get out often.
What would you do differently?:

Two of the hille almost had me, the second time over Marquam Bridge and the on-ramp hill to St. Johns. Need to do more hills.

Ride back to car.
