Wren Loop Thoroughbreds: November 2014
http://wrenloop.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Delayed blog post here, this ride was Oct. 4. I was so hoping to get one more 50 mile ride in this year, unfortunately it was not to be. Work has been absolutely insane and I've been there 7 days a week. Not surprisingly I have not been getting in many long rides. The work schedule, coupled with a bit or rain, and the fact that our logging road loops are now off limits due to the new $150 permit required Aug through Jan. meant I just didn't get it done. We vetted in and had the...

Wren Loop Thoroughbreds: July 2015
http://wrenloop.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 3, 2015. Happy 3rd of July. Cartman, Buddy, and I took a two hour pre-4th of July ride today! It was already getting hot at 9:30am but there was a nice breeze down by the river and surprisingly there was nobody down there! We managed to get 9.22 miles in, but about 3 of them were in deep sand. so I'm counting those double :) Cartman got really sweaty and even had lather under his breastcollar. We also got some time in the water, as there were not throngs of people there yet. I should back up.

Wren Loop Thoroughbreds: June 2015
http://wrenloop.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. Four days after we got home from Prineville Cartman was due to have his shoes replaced. When Gary pulled off his right front and started to trim it he discovered a small bruise in the toe. It was actually oozing a little bit of fluid :(. As he trimmed he even found another tiny spot of bruising, also in the right front toe. If I observed any soreness, swelling, or other signs of foot trouble I would get the shoe off and start soaking. I believe that the bruising was caused by me ...

From Where the Sun Now Stands: Oh, The Places We Will Go
http://nezpercetrailride.blogspot.com/2008/12/oh-places-we-will-go.html
From Where the Sun Now Stands. A 1,170 mile horseback journey on the Nez Perce Trail. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Oh, The Places We Will Go. I've always been a bit of a history buff. (It's genetic. Blame my dad.). Naturally, when my friend Spartacus Jones. Put me onto the idea of a long ride, I knew that not just any 1,000 mile trek would do. I wanted to retrace history. A bit of web surfing revealed scores of possiblities. More importantly, the Nez Perce Trail. Bleeds history - almost literally. T...

Tuesday, June 24, 2014. I think Cartman could have gone farther- I, however, was done! I had almost everything packed Thursday night so was actually able to get on the road by 9am on Friday morning. We arrived in camp about 2:45 after a brief carrot and coffee break at the Madras Safeway. C jumped out of the trailer and started looking for bits of grass. After I had our little camp site set up we took a walk around camp and visited some troughs and grassy spots. We made it back to camp in one piece, but ...

Wren Loop Thoroughbreds: March 2015
http://wrenloop.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 21, 2015. Whew, this was a busy day and I'm beat. I started out going to the gym at 9am and it was a killer workout! Then I lifted weights for about 45 minutes, race off to the lab, showered, and worked for four hours. It was still raining when I got home at 3pm but you could tell it was blowing on through and the blue sky was peeking through. I waited until what looked like the last shower, then ran down to the pasture and grabbed Cartman. Walking in the deep sand. We did some exploring ...

Sunday, July 27, 2014. Ft Stevens Beach Ride. Today I really needed to get out of town for a ride. We deliberated whether to go to Camp Wilkerson or to the beach. I wanted to get a good hard ride in, as it is two weeks until our next endurance ride at Santiam Cascade, so we decided to go for it and brave a summer Sunday at the OR coast. We decided to head right to the beach, in hopes it wouldn't be as crowded this early and the gamble payed off. We had the North end totally to ourselves! We then climbed ...
