Reminder: Rough Stuff Ramble is Sunday June 16

It's time again for one of my favorite types of rides: The Urban Ramble. The Rough Stuff Ramble is a ride evoking the spirit of the Rough Stuff Fellowship, a UK based cycling society dedicated to getting off the beaten path.

A quick report: Slough Country Ramble, 16 Feb 2019

Scheduling a ride on Saturday February 16th was possibly not the best idea, as it's the same weekend of Mini Bike Winter (MBW) and its Chariot Wars.

Adventuring in the Western Suburbs

This past Wednesday found Emee and myself in the western suburb of Beaverton. The purpose?

From 2014: Rambling ’round the margins in Cathedral Park

NOTE: Blog Housekeeping! This post for a ramble I did on August 20, 2014 has sat in my Drafts folder for almost five years! Guess I wanted to add more. But I feel that this one is a pretty good one as is, so it should see the light of day. Also, there's a few…

Seize the January day

It's been a dry few days around these parts. It doesn't rain non-stop all the time in winter here in Cascadia, so there's opportunities for dry rides a lot of the time. But a reliable string of dry sunny days during the wet season, a period where the rain gear is safely abandoned, calls for…
