Camping at Ainsworth SP in the Gorge, 15 June 2022. Ricohflex Dia/Kodak Gold 200 We're just a couple days away from the start of July. If it's not too hot (or too smoky) July through September marks the best time to bike tour here in the Pacific Northwest--long, dry, warm days. Spring typically isn't a... Continue Reading →
Bike Camping at Ainsworh SP/Columbia Gorge, 25 Aug 2020. Ricoh 35 ZF/AristaEDU 200. We're having some nice weather for the beginning of March. That snow and ice storm? So two weeks ago.

June turns into July in Cascadia. Or more accurately, Junuary turns into July. Junuary, it's spring's last hurrah. Despite nice weather for the first half of the month, the second half saw more cool (sub-70s) temps, and periods of rain, some periods downright intense. Just a few days ago we were looking at those sub-70's... Continue Reading →
Remember in January I attempted to partake in the "s24o a month club"? Yeah, we all know how that turned out. (Answer: It didn't.) But I still had hopes of doing as many overnight bike camping trips in 2014, and really hoped I could pull something off in February. And originally this was going to... Continue Reading →
