It&#8217;s the highest point inside the city limits of Portland at 1073 ft (327 m).  It was a tough ride up for me, since I&#8217;m still hauling a lot of weight (but less than before) on the bike.  It did feel good to get to the top, and also do some classic loops on Fairmount and Hewitt\/Humprey roads.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nobleviola.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/councilride.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1142\" title=\"councilride\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nobleviola.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/councilride-400x498.jpg?resize=400%2C498\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"498\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atop Council Crest | Originally uploaded by nobleviola click photo to enlarge This morning I was without a car, and decided that a ride was in order.
