Cyborg Monday: New and newish stuff over in the store, including NEW COMIC!

Hello friends! It's the start of the holiday consumerist frenzy in this part of the world. And even though you may feel above it all, maybe you need to get someone a gift. Or that you just want to get some cool stuff yourself. I don't blame ya! Over in my Store, I have some...

Three Speed October: Did you participate? It’s time to check in.

Did you participate in the Three Speed October challenge? Please get in touch. Summarize your rides thusly:

Week One

1. Tuesday: 7 mile trek down to the river on the Superbe.

Emotional Weather Report. (And goodbye, moosemoose.)

It's been a few weeks, eh? Besides the obvious things going on in the world, it's been a personally challenging few weeks around the Urban Adventure League HQ. A series of down notes have hit me: First off, I had to scuttle the intended Chehalem Range Ramble on Saturday November 5th. I don't like cancelling...

Coffeeneuring 2016, Ride 6: Fri 4 Nov, or #pdxcoffeeoutside again

We're nearing the home stretch of Coffeeneuring! Just a few more rides to do before I "win" and get my patch! Well, the dudes behind #pdxcoffeeoutside put out the notice on Thursday November 3 that they would be at the "Dog Bowl" at 7 am on Friday morning. The Dog Bowl is the most popular...

Chehalem Range Ramble for tomorrow CANCELLED.

Yeah, I hate to do a cancel with less than 12 hours before the ride starts. And yes, I realize that I cancelled last year's ride. And yes, the weather is supposed to suck tomorrow. But that's not the primary reason for the cancel. Basically, it's mechanical. The front brakes on the Bantam are having...

Coffeeneuring Ride 5, 2 Nov 2016: Pulling out the Heavy Duti

Man, the Coffeeneuring challenge is slipping  away! Time to catch up and get in something this week! One of my "personal challenges" in the Coffeeneuring challenge is to ride each one of my rideable bikes at least once through the course of the challenge.* I've used both the Raleigh Superbe and Crested Butte, my two...

My third (and maybe final) week of the Three Speed Challenge

Hello all! I just wrapped up a third week of my Three Speed October challenge! Hooray! I could go for a "bonus" week this week, but don't know if I'll be riding my three speed. (Sorry, Tim!) Here's how it played out: Sunday Oct 23: Though I rode to work, I'm only going to count...
