Ride Bikes, Drink Coffee: A Short Ride In The Columbia Gorge
http://ridebikesdrinkcoffee.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-short-ride-in-columbia-gorge.html
Saturday, November 30, 2013. A Short Ride In The Columbia Gorge. Every cyclist should have the old Historic Columbia River Highway on their bucket list, whether you live right here in Oregon or as far away as, say, Benin. Any chance you get to ride a segment of this highway, do it. The HCRH is ever-improving for cyclists and hikers, and has has gotten some exciting press thanks to the recent completion of the project at Moffett Creek. Salem Breakfast on Bikes. Or just share the same name? Cycling Emergen...

Ride Bikes, Drink Coffee: Into The Wind
http://ridebikesdrinkcoffee.blogspot.com/2013/11/into-wind.html
Monday, November 11, 2013. I had a couple of free hours in Portland today, and had my bike with me. I decided to return to one of my favorite spots, the Springwater Trail. It’s a nice urban trail with surprisingly few street crossings. I wanted to get away from being on the streets with car traffic, and this was just the ticket. There’s talk of making this trail connect all the way to Mount Hood someday. I wonder how they got that idea. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Salem, Oregon, United States.

Ride Bikes, Drink Coffee: Salmon and Stroads
http://ridebikesdrinkcoffee.blogspot.com/2013/09/salmon-and-stroads.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Wrong-way cyclists (aka salmon) crossing through busy lanes on Market Street in Salem during rush hour. Where are you most likely to find salmon? Stroads, of course! If you need a refresher on what a stroad is exactly, look here. You hardly ever will see salmon riders behave the same way on downtown streets or on roads. For various reasons, cyclists flow with traffic far more consistently on these thoroughfares. Stroads are unique in this regard. Thank you, stroad! You know, ...

Ride Bikes, Drink Coffee: Back to the Gorge for a Longer Ride
http://ridebikesdrinkcoffee.blogspot.com/2015/04/back-to-gorge-for-longer-ride.html
Sunday, April 5, 2015. Back to the Gorge for a Longer Ride. An overnight bike ride can be a fantastic mini-vacation for folks who just need a brief respite from their daily routines. There are so many great overnight options in Oregon but at the top of my list was a return Columbia River Gorge. I haven't added any posts to this blog since my last ride there, but that was actually over a year ago. Time to ride and write! Vista House at Crown Point, along the Historic Columbia River Highway. Did you ever f...

Ride Bikes, Drink Coffee: Day One
http://ridebikesdrinkcoffee.blogspot.com/2013/01/day-one.html
Tuesday, January 1, 2013. On Day One of every new year we’re encouraged to create new goals for ourselves, become more organized, get skinny, and stuff like that. I probably should have been hitting the stores to buy totes and planners and Dr. Oz cookbooks. But today the Willamette Valley was awash in sunshine. Quite a contrast to the slushy stuff that pelted our faces yesterday and made visibility a problem. Sorry, Dr. Oz. You just got trumped by Mother Nature. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Cyclin...

Ride Bikes, Drink Coffee: Asthma and Cycling: Like Riding A Bike.
http://ridebikesdrinkcoffee.blogspot.com/2011/04/asthma-and-cycling-like-riding-bike.html
Saturday, April 23, 2011. Asthma and Cycling: Like Riding A Bike. At some point as a kid, you became determined to ride a bike all on your own. You had to learn how to steer, how to brake, how to keep yourself going, and how to get up when you fell down. That's a great metaphor for how we deal with asthma, too. Steer clear of obstacles and know when to use the brakes. Keep your momentum, and get back up when you fall. Is able to race bikes in the mud because she’s got this figured out. Ive found that I w...

Did you ever find yourself in a place of such amazing scenery, you just had to capture it with a camera, only to realize you left the camera at home?

Ride Bikes, Drink Coffee: Cookie Power
http://ridebikesdrinkcoffee.blogspot.com/2013/04/cookie-power.html
Sunday, April 28, 2013. They tell you that the Monster Cookie Bicycle Ride is not a race. That’s true, unless you’re a cyclist who also happens to be a church musician. Let’s just say that the songs might have been “extra peppy” this morning so that I could just squeak in before the deadline to start riding. And like rag dolls all the way back to the Capitol. Didn’t matter, it still was a perfect day for riding. Thanks to the Salem Bicycle Club. And the many volunteers, for making this ride happen. Some ...
