A Kelley Point Ramble and a bonus Coffeeneuring adventure

It's November, and I've been feeling it. November is possibly the toughest months because of the onslaught of winter, which means short days and rain. Not only that, November can be stormy, and it has been just that. Wednesday November 18 was a niceish day in between two very soggy days. While I had many...

Coffeeeuring 2015, Ride 5B, Wed 4 Nov: Where I introduce my Bantam Rambleneur to Forest Park.

Another decent fall day in Portland, a day I had off. What to do? Well, I have been wanting to ride the eleven miles of unpaved that is Leif Erickson Drive through Forest Park for quite some time. Not only would there be some fall color, but I have not yet ridden the Bantam Rambleneur...

Coffeeneuring 2015, Ride 5, Tuesday 3 November: Where I reintroduce the Crested Butte and get in a Sunrise Burrito as well.

Fall is finally here in the Northwest. And nothing speaks "fall is here" than the first good storm of the season, which happened Saturday, aka Halloween. We got 1.9 inches of rain (48 mm) that day! The most rain we got in one day in four years! Street flooding was the norm that stormy day,...

Coffeneuring 2015 Ride 4, Tues 27 Oct: A ride of personal history. (Plus, moonrise.)

This Coffeeneuring Challenge I'm trying to make each ride unique in its own way. This doesn't mean that I'm aiming for "epic", though my first ride of the 2015 challenge did go in that direction. No, it's something a little different than that. Maybe a little more personal. And for the fourth ride of this challenge,...

Coffeeneuring 2015, Ride 3: Appropriately, a three speed teaneurring ride. (And with April, too!)

Ah, here we are, the third ride in on the 2015 Coffeeneuring Challenge. Half-way, almost. A hump-day ride for the hump of the challenge. Let's mix things up and keep it interesting, shall we? The third ride of the challenge is an appropriate enough time to pull out ye olde three speed, huh? And nothing goes...

Coffeeneuring 2015, Week 2: A Two-fer

Yes, while other folks are posting their Week 3 rides, I'm just getting to Week 2! Remember that my "weekend" falls mid-week, since I'm not one of those lucky ones that gets weekends off. And to make it special, I did two Coffeeneuring rides the past week, one on each of my "days off". The first...
