Near Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, 5 Feb 2023. Minolta SR-T 101-MC Rokkor PG 50mm f/1.4-Cinestill 400D Emee's event planning company typically facilitates a big event during the first week of February. When the seminar is done, we are pretty burnt and in need of rest and relaxation. I proposed that we would spend the night at... Continue Reading →
Hello folks. I've decided to cancel the Chehalem Range Ramble for this Saturday. I know what you are thinking, but this has less to do with COVID-19 and more to do with the projected forecast for Saturday. It's going to be at the very least wet and cool. And some reports are saying there can... Continue Reading →
Let's see: Before Saturday's ride, I had scheduled a Chehalem Range Ramble five times over the years, and only did it twice. Bad weather seems to like to find my ride. The first one in 2014 was tolerable, a bit of rain. When I did it last in February of 2017, I had already not... Continue Reading →
It's less than a week away! My Chehalem Range Ramble is a fun ride through some beautiful country to the south and west of the metro area. The weather looks like it'll be classic early fall: mild with a chance of showers. Plus, those maples are starting to show their autumn colors. You should come... Continue Reading →
Hey folks! It's that time again, time to attempt another Chehalem Range Ramble! And doing this in early October means a better shot for OK weather. It's pretty much the same ride I've done in the past (2014 and 2017), with one pass over the Range and a gravel loop outside of Gaston. The big... Continue Reading →
Yes, the weather forecast is just too iffy tomorrow, so I’m cancelling the Sunday November 5 Chehalem Range Ramble. Stay tuned, I WILL try to do it again. (Of course, now that the ride is cancelled, it’ll be beautiful tomorrow. No worries, go out and ride your bike!)
Yes, the weather forecast for Sunday is not looking good. And doing the Chehalem Range Ramble in wet and cold conditions is not fun, especially since there are few bail out points and/or places to warm up. Heck, there could even be a li'l snow at the top, just like it was when we last... Continue Reading →
Yes, my friends, the ride I had rescheduled twice over the course of two years has finally happened. This time I had the determination to stick it out, no matter what. And determination is what I needed as I woke up Sunday morning. While Saturday was beautiful, sunny and dry with a high near 50F/10C,... Continue Reading →
