Currently sleepless in Hood River, Oregon, I finish up some cell phone blogging as a light rain pushes cool air into the room. In four hours or so, I will embark for Portland, the largest city visited since Kansas City. I intend to embrace the cycling culture there, relax and do some sightseeing by bike... Continue Reading →
