Patch sample is here! SoTS new member pack pre-order still going.

Society Of Three Speeds

Hey folks! A bunch of you have already pre-ordered the new membership kit, thank you very much. I appreciate your support!

I have some good news: The sample of the patch has been made by Falls Creek Outfitters. It looks great! See it above. So if you were hesitant about ordering because you were unsure how the finished product was going to look, fear no more!

And there have been a few questions from people who are already members about the new kit. So, to clear it up:

• If you are already a member, you will still retain your member number, you will not be a “new member” per se.
• At some point (most likely January), existing members will be able to purchase individual stickers, buttons, and patches a la carte. However, the “best” deal for current and new members alike is to get in on the pre-sale. The prices…

Goodbye, hostel.

It's official: Friday November 16 marked my last day at the hostel. If you've been following along, you know that I transitioned out of full time employment in August, and have been working part-time since then. But that was never a permanent plan, it was a temporary source of guaranteed cash until I figured out...

Coffeeneuring 2018, Ride 6: Business business! Thurs 16 Nov

Wow! Ride 6, and the challenge is almost over for 2018. How time flies. I started the Coffeeneuring 2018 Challenge with a lot of vim and vigor. But it's been tough this year. You'd figure with "only" working part-time this would be a breeze, no? I should be doing 60 mile Coffee Outside adventures, and...

Reed Ravine Ramble for Dec 2 POSTPONED

Hello friends. Due to various factors, I won't be doing my scheduled Reed Ravine Ramble on Sunday December 2nd. I hope to reschedule it sometime in winter, but I don't know exactly when yet. Stay tuned for details. And yep, that means unless I put something last-minute on the calendar, there are no more bike...

Heading to Texas

Before you get any silly notions, no, I am not moving to Texas. Nope, it's time for a visit! I've only been to the Lone Star State twice in my life--once when driving across country in 1998 (a thousand miles on I-10!) and once via train in 2005, stopping in Austin. Emee's family lives in...

Coffeeneuring 2018, Ride 5: Some inside coffee, some outside Rocky Butte. 6 Nov 2018

I had a relatively early (9 AM)* meeting on Tuesday November 6th. I met at Grand Central Bakery in the Beaumont neighborhood with Doug of Alameda History where we talked about doing some history rides in 2019. So look for something interesting in the near future! Despite being there for an hour-and-a-half, I still had...

Blogging in an Instagram world

Just the other day I saw a post from a friend's blog in my reader. He hadn't posted in awhile, and only came back to his blog to post info for an upcoming event. He said that most everyone had migrated to Instagram, but this post was for the straggler or two who hadn't made...
