  • 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...

  • Cascade Lakes 200

    As part of my ongoing quest for that R-12, I needed a September ride. Fitz wanted to check out a golf resort near Bend... "You know, if we go THIS weekend, I can ride while you are playing golf!" It looked like I'd be riding all by myself (yes, there were other riders signed up, but I'm...

  • Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party!

    I think this was my 5th year doing this ride. It is still lots of fun! Cecil was going to ride, along with Jason and me, but she had an unfortunate encounter with Delta Airlines, and ran out of vacation, so could not join us :-( We were planning to spend Thursday night at her brother's, and he would...

  • Oregon Randonneurs RUSA 10 Anniversary Brevet Workers' Ride

    Or, the Bridge of the Gods Ride Backwards, with some extra bits. Went over to Cecil's house early on Sunday morning, knowing I'd have to be across the Hawthorne Bridge before it was closed for the Bridge Pedal. She was waiting for me outside. Pre-ride faffing (warm enough, no extra layers), and...

  • Gitane goes to Work

    Given that Bleriot is in a partially dissassembled state (if you thought that front rack was hard to INSTALL, try removing it...), Gitane was pressed into service as Commute Bike today. Clearly I got there and back safely, including a stop by Favorite Bike Store to show it off ("look! it's finished...

  • Timothy 200 Pre-Ride

    The day started much too early, as I was heading in from almost-Beaverton, picking up Cecil, picking up Michael, and then driving to Estacada. If I wasn't picking them up, I'd have gone south from home, and then west. Probably shorter. But then I would not have had such excellent company for...

  • The Livestrong Challenge, 2008

    The event really started Friday evening, with the course marshal pre-ride meeting. Our responsibilities were described, including this is a ride, not a race, traffic laws will be obeyed. Stop signs with white borders are not optional. And so on. We also received nifty commemorative Livestrong dogtags...

  • Some days, it is hard to be a good little demographic

    I surely tried. Fitz told me to get the Brooks Saddle of my choice for Mother's Day. Duly accomplished yesterday. It is installed, but there is a small problem - my venerable seatbag does not work with it. All the other seatbags we have around are of the same type, except my Carradice Barley, which...

  • The Jolly Postman

    Context: 96 degrees. I need to send my MiNewt back for factory service. But I'm off on an all-weekend bicycling adventure to the coast and back, so need another mailbox to ship my package away in. Plus, one of the contacts on my IQ Fly headlight has broken. Fitz is off on his annual Atomic Open golf...

  • Fleche Ouragan

    Last November, friend Rickey said, "I've signed you up on my Fleche team". All I knew about a Fleche was that it lasted 24 hours, and had minimum distance requirement. I didn't know I wanted to do a Fleche... Cecil was going to do one; her team was, at that point, undetermined. And...
