With lots of members on vacation, two stalwarts visited our group’s 126th independently owned shop on N. Williams at Mason. We find ourselves drawn to unusual settings, and Frice fits meets that standard in that it shares its retail and preparatory space with two other food ventures, Phillippe’s Breads and the 4th Lardo restaurant outlet.  Add on high quality pastry, and what’s not to like.

Also unique today was our members meeting a young couple and their three year-old daughter from Columbus, Ohio, who chose to have their 10-day vacation in Portland in order to experience our City’s bicycle culture.  If they find our bicycle world to their liking,  they intend to start applying for employment here.   Since biking is part of our Sunday morning practice, we had a lovely time swapping stories, and of course – being parents – giving advice.   4802 N.
