Portland is So HOT Right Now...

Sunday, August 17, 2008

I'm sure you all caught the quote reference here from the Ben Stiller movie Zoolander from a few years back, but man Portland is seriously hot right now- both figuratively and literally. It's hit 100 degrees twice this week, and things should be cooling off a bit now, but man for the Pacific NW, these are some incredible temps and pretty close to record setting (though, definitely not quite on the Michael Phelps level by any means).

Now, on the other level of Portland being so hot right now, it was exciting to see Portland on the front page of the Travel section of USA Today this week, and we'd have to agree that it's a really great city! After our recent post about cycling in general and especially what a great place Portland is for it, this article seemed especially apropos. We hear at phix pride ourselves on being headquartered here in the Pacific NW, and we're proud to call both Portland and Seattle home. Interestingly enough, we were out on one of the many oh so hot bike commuter friendly bridges (the Hawthorne Bridge) in Portland just this week during the morning commute sampling phix to all our Portland bike friends. It was a ton of fun, and as usual, folks we're really excited to learn about phix as an exciting new healthy energy option!

Cheers to health Portland!
