https://zenondirt.wordpress.com/2015/08
Adventures of the Past. Monthly Archives: August 2015. August 10, 2015. A week near Bend. We had somewhere on the order of a week to kill before our next trip. After a somewhat stressful afternoon coming off of the Hot Sisters route with the car misbehaving and there being no cheap open rooms available in Bend, we finally pointed to the National Forest land south of town, found a pull out, set our tent up, and collapsed. Head towards Idaho and dork around there for a few days? Day one of scouting took us...

Adventures of the Past. October 9, 2016. Salida non-recovery with the Gypsies. Our 14ers trip reignited a love for bikepacking in me. While I was nothing short of exhausted, I had all sorts of plans percolating in the back of my head. Ride here, run that, then ride over there, and scramble that, rinse and repeat. Aside from gaining freedom from the incessantly cold nights during the trip, I was actually a little sad to be coming back to ‘real life’ and the Scamp. Who were also touring the Colorado Trail ...

Adventures of the Past. October 29, 2016. And trees just don’t really seem to do it for me. While I appreciated and loved exploring the woods and rain forests of the Pacific North West last summer, (the Hoh rainforest was amazeballs! I found myself craving the big views that only the desert and mountains can afford. And after spending a week at the Grand Canyon and two weeks in Moab prior to that, the woods around Flagstaff just weren’t getting me all that excited. It was far from warm, but I guess we we...

https://zenondirt.wordpress.com/2015/02
Adventures of the Past. Monthly Archives: February 2015. February 26, 2015. I did something completely out of character last weekend. I raced my bike in a completely pressure- and expectations-free situation. I told no one I was racing (my parents called me the following Monday night, ‘We’re looking at photos of you racing…did you race? I had zero expectations, and my only goal for the weekend was to not completely implode and to have as much fun as possible. It was awesome and I loved it. So here’...

Hot Sisters Day 22 – Hey South Sister! | Zen On Dirt
https://zenondirt.wordpress.com/2015/08/02/hot-sisters-day-22-hey-south-sister
Adventures of the Past. Hot Sisters Day 22 – Hey South Sister! August 2, 2015. We got one of those semi-early Scott and Ez starts. We left our tent and gear in the campsite and went looking for a place to stash the bikes out of sight. Bikes secured, up we went. Well, a few steps before Scott had to go back to the bikes to get something but couldn’t find them at first. Made me feel good about our hiding place. Luckily, by the summit we’d climbed out of the smoke and we got to share somewhat muted vi...

Hot Sisters Hot Springs Day 21 – Run to the hills before it gets hot! | Zen On Dirt

Adventures of the Past. Hot Sisters Hot Springs Day 21 – Run to the hills before it gets hot! August 1, 2015. We’ve spent the past hour while eating dinner watching a little squirrel cut pine cones out of a tree, drop them on the ground, and then later take them one by one back to his lair. We’re also witnessing an epic battle between a flock of gray jays and Stellar jays. It’s like we ate a TV dinner…except the entertainment was better. We were expecting the M-W to be horsey-sandy and were amazed when i...

Adventures of the Past. Monthly Archives: May 2015. May 28, 2015. Annual Girls Trip…now to Moab. Last year, we branched out and did Moab. This year, we decided that Moab needed another visit. I’ve written plenty about these trips, after all, they’ve been going on for 7 years (actually 8, but I wasn’t there for the first one). This is what happens when I tell them to ride in a line. Total photo-fail. I could go on about the food. Everyone brings a dinner and/or breakfast. Thai elk lettuce wraps...I had...

Hot Sisters Day 18 – Climbing the McKenzie | Zen On Dirt
https://zenondirt.wordpress.com/2015/07/29/hot-sisters-day-18-climbing-the-mckenzie
Adventures of the Past. Hot Sisters Day 18 – Climbing the McKenzie. July 29, 2015. The day started with more idyllic McKenzie River Trail. Smooth, fast, we were at our hot spring five miles away in no time. It was nestled under a little cove right at river level. While not overly hot overall, the earth continued to fart on occasion sending up plumed of really hot. We soaked for well over an hour enjoying the early-ish morning sun. Sold In theory, now we’ll ride into Sisters morning/midday the day a...
