Most of you know that I ride my bicycle a lot. I really love to get out and pedal my way around Oregon. Long before I started riding bicycles I rode motorcycles. As a teenager I rode dirt bikes. That ended one day when my younger brother Douglas, decided to borrow my bike and proceeded to get into an accident. That Was about 30 years ago and is a story for another day, and believe me it's a good one too!
The Rose Festival Starlight Parade is somethiing I look forward to each year. Rain or shine The Starlight Parade is really is a peoples parade. Don't get me wrong I like the floats and pagentry of the Grand Floral, but there is something that just screams Portland, when it comes to The Starlight Parade. The Royal Rosarians - ambassadors for the city it's our chance to walk in the parade, shake hands with residents and say thank you.
