Less writing. More riding.

It’s nice outside.  Really nice.  Too nice to sit at a computer.

We have been out on the roads exploring our small world and designing new bike routes.  You know?

Ride #1:  Get Circumnavigated

Forget about “bike loops”.  Circumnavigation is it, baby!  How better to explore a place then to see it from 360 degrees?

Portland’s downtown is on a hill.  On a peninsula.  It’s practically surrounded by stunning views.  Not to mention the cool little details and unique architecture you can see streetside.

These guys did a lap around in a canoe.  We do it on bikes.

Ride #2:  The Water Treatment

Featuring a secluded waterfall, a quiet island, a rushing tidal pool, a delicate salt marsh, and inescapable ocean views.

Oh yeah, and a stinky treatment plant, too.

 Ride #3:  The Heart Attack

 A loving survey of the fried foods that keep our pedals turning.  Starting with Tony’s Donuts, pausing for Pier Fries, and culminating with fried clams.  Bon Appétite!
