Today was 35 degrees and windy. I had an 11 mile loop on about 5 miles of dirt and 6 miles of paved on my Quickbeam with Schwalbe Marathon Winter 35mm tires. On a windy day I try to do the dirt with the wind to my back. Well I guessed wrong today. The dirt road follows the Connecticut River

Managed 3.41M northbound before I was stopped at a huge sandpit where a gully washer or arroyo buster had flooded the (now merely damp) st

Did you ever have a ride that started so screwed up that you're wondering wtf I am doing here. Well, my wife and I went on our club ride, but the start location's gate was closed. OK no big deal, we'll just drive to the next parking lot and meet everybody. No dice. Next we park at another lot

Well the temperatures soared into the 50's today so I had no choice but to go ride. I figured out the wind was out of the southwest and took off into it. Now the first 14 miles were into ghosting 25mph winds but other than making me slow it wasn't to bad. (just noisy) So I found side loops

It had been way too long since I'd been out to Mormon Emigrant Trail, so I packed up the Riv Road this morning and headed for the mountains. An hour later, I was at Jenkinson Lake, ready to start the climb, which is basically about 28 miles of almost uninterrupted uphill. Nothing super steep,

A nice 200k ride with my friend Kellen. We rode from North Portland out to Ripplebrook Ranger Station. Basically a long out and back but 50 miles of it were on this beautiful stretch of road with minimal traffic and following the Clackamas River. I was tired at the end but no cramps or bonk. Seems
