Ride Report: Sunset/Moonrise Ride, 13 Sept 2019

"How many riders are you expecting?" I got this question posed to me twice on Friday. I always find this question interesting, since most of my rides don't require registration. How am I supposed to know how many people are coming? Sure, I can get a few people tell me that they are interested, but...

Sunset/Moonrise Ride for tonight is ON

Hello folks! The rain has passed by, leaving us with a partly cloudy day. The cloud cover means it may not be the most spectacular sunset or moonrise, but let's give the ride a shot. And don't forget lights and layers! The details: Meet me at 6pm tonight, Friday September 13, at Beaumont Market, 4130...

My Pedalpalooza 2019, Two Weeks In

Pedalpalooza is all of June. Portland's annual festival of bike fun. I tend to lead a lot of events during the month, mostly because the types of rides I like to do are not as represented on the calendar as they used to be. I get so busy in the process of planning and leading...

REMINDER: Sunset/Moonrise Ride is tomorrow, Monday June 17

We're just halfway through Pedalpalooza. Time for one of my favorite regular summer rides, the Sunset/Moonrise Ride! Did you know that on the night of the full moon, the sun sets roughly around the same time that the moon rises? We'll ride about 5 miles to a mystery spot to see both. Meet me at...

Pedalpalooza 2019: All my rides
