  • Improvements

    Last winter, in my ongoing search for dry, warm hands while cycling, I bought the REI Taped Mittens . And they worked very well. The only drawback is that they are mountaineering mitts and have long cuffs, straps you can tighten, straps you can put around your wrist and a drawstring at the ends. Imagine...

  • Amazingly Gorgeous Ride

    A sunny November Saturday, the rando ride for the month is done, time for another Portland Velo Saturday ride. With all the traveling, my riding has suffered somewhat, so the past couple weeks have been "whip myself back into shape". Today was no exception. Met Cecil at the top of the hill...

  • It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better

    The garage is undergoing a renovation, which will turn the room currently designated as the wood shop into the bike shop. It will be wonderful when that day arrives.

  • The Gitane, again

    fork needs love Originally uploaded by periwinklekog The front fork finally had a good look-over. As it turned out, nothing wrong with the headset - the fork crown had never been faced. Friend and bike mechanic B. went at it this evening, and it is much better. Next step - get the broken stem bolt (rust...

  • What's in that bottle, anyway?

    As some are curious... A bit of background. I purchased this so I could keep hot coffee in it. Found out about it via Steven Scharf's Bicycle Coffee Systems page. And, on the subsequent Cycle Oregon ride (known for whacking cold mornings), it served me well. But there I was, on a whacking cold morning...

  • Nice Club Ride Today

    I decided to do the Portland Velo ride later last night. None of the usual suspects were available (well, one wasn't, and it was kind of late to call the other), so I got myself and Lemond up and out of the house around 8am, heading west. LS wool jersey, waffle fleece vest, Showers Pass jacket.....

  • Anticipaaaaaaaation

    Took myself to the Oregon Manifest custom bike show this afternoon. Couldn't get anyone to come with me, so I hiked up to the MAX and then walked the two blocks to the show (Bleriot needs a bit of love before riding again, which would be tomorrow; I should get on it). Found Cecil at the Showers Pass...

  • Bingen DNF

    DNF. Letters I never wanted to see next to my name. Technically, I haven't seen them YET, because the results haven't been posted, but they'll be there. I figured to do the Bingen, because with my hellacious travel schedule this month (haven't traveled for 3 years, clearly I'm making...

  • Gitane does Heavy Lifting

    I'm off for a business trip, so Gitane had to haul a lot of stuff home today. Plus stopping at Best Buy (needed a new teeny laptop mouse), the bank, and Freddies en route. This meant riding on the gravel stretch home, with relatively fresh gravel. Slow and easy. But, dang, that pannier was heavy...

  • Gitane Goes to Work Again

    I'm off on a business trip next week, far away, and Bleriot is going with. It being Bike Commute Challenge month; I have to keep commuting. So I packed it up last night, and am commuting on Gitane this week. Fellow cyclist co-worker wanted a complete run-down of the bike after work. He thought it...
