On the Road: Portland to Rickreall, OR

Have been able to see some friends for the first time since I have been back, which is a great feeling.

On the Road: Mary Hill State Park to Portland

Currently I am trying to reign in my eating habits developed over the summer.

On the Road: Ennis, MT to Lochsa Lodge, ID

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...
