Another year, another Coffeeneuring Challenge under the belt! I've been participating in this challenge created by Mary Geresma of Chasing Mailboxes DC since 2013. I've completed most of them, doing the required seven rides, though I didn't complete it fully at least one year if not two. This year I came down to the wire,... Continue Reading →
Another year, another Coffeeneuring Challenge completed. But this year, it was really down to the wire. I did my last ride on the last possible day I could! As much as I'd like to finish with a grand statement, again simplicity and just getting the job done was the order of the day. I once... Continue Reading →
Coffeeneuring season is almost over, and I'm down to the wire. The previous week was not an exciting one for drinking coffee outside, more rain than anything else. Typical November weather.

Sometime in September my good friend Timo suggested we should do a "socially distanced" Coffee Outside together. I was game, since I haven't done any Coffee Outside with anyone besides Emee in the past year. Our local Coffee Outside chapter, pdxcoffeeoutside, has been dormant since the pandemic started,* as are many others around the world.... Continue Reading →
Welcome to another Coffeeneuring ride! My first adventure for the 2020 challenge was a bit "extra", brewing coffee on the beach at Cape Disappointment. And I'll understand if you're a bit disappointed that this one is more mundane... I have a regular errands loop that I do once to twice a week. It usually consists... Continue Reading →
Once again, another #coffeeneuring challenge is here! This challenge is from October 10 through What's that, you ask? I'll let Mary of Chasing Mailboxes DC (the admin!) explain: Essentially the challenge boils down to this: over the course of 7’ish weeks,ride your bike to 7 different places,at least 2 miles round trip each time,drink 7...
