On the Road Again Until August
Multnomah Falls, Columbia Gorge, Oregon
Today is my last day home for a month. I’ll be touring on the Slipstream in the Northwest. I though of taking the Laptop with me but have decided against it. We will be traveling self contained and Bennett has a penchant for Savage Camping. I doubt that there will be a lot of spots to use it along the way plus I don’t need the extra weight. So, I will see you again in August.
The route starts in Seattle, slides down to Portland. Then follows the Columbia River to Walla Walla.
FedEx Comes Through
The Coffin loaded with Slipstream and Camping Gear arrived safely and undamaged in Seattle today. That was 5 working days and $120 to ship the 127 pound Coffin insured for $3500 from Dover, NH to Seattle, WA.
Good job FedEx!
See Filling the Coffin for details on cost and weight.
Riding a Recumbent in South Flordia
EZ Rider
If you are riding a Recumbent in South Florida, check out EZ Biker. My son lives in the area and I know Recumbent Riders there need all of the help they can get.
I’ll think I’ll take my Sat-R Day with me on my next visit and check out the South Florida Recumbent Riders Ride Schedule.
CrankK – Digg for Cycling
Here’s a great site that deserves a lot more traffic. It is Crankk.
It is a lot like Digg but just for cycling. A great place to get all of the latest cycling news and see what is happening in Cycling Blogs.
Touring on a Recumbent in the Mountains
Gros Monde, Newfoundland
Riding in the mountains is a special joy. It is easy to see why Native Americans thought the Gods lived in the Mountains. There is a sense of awe that is sometimes almost overwhelming as you ride above the timberline with a breath taking view of a fearsome landscape above and below.
A Classic New Hampshire Ride – 50 Miles
Riding from Ossipee to Dover, NH the other night I got a late start. We were running late coming home from the Montreal Bike Festival and I didn’t get started until 4:30 PM. It is about 50 miles and I knew it would be dark before I got home. But I love this ride and do it every chance I get.
Sanbornville House
It had been a dark day but this is a beautiful ride along historic Rt. 153 that straddles the New Hampshire and Maine border.
