  • Coos to UK — 100 K ride

    I’ve been looking for a nice way to finish my summer riding schedule and this year, I was able to do some riding in my old stomping grounds and help out a good cause all at the same time. The Coos Bay, OR police Dept. were raising monies to travel to the UK and one…

  • Oregon Vineyard Country

    I sometimes forget how pretty the Willamette Valley is — and then I get on my bike and Oregon just opens up. This is one of my favorite times of the year — early fall/late summer when there is still daylight in the morning and the afternoons still hit 70, 80 degrees but the mornings…

  • Crater Lake Trip

    What a blast! I’ll post pictures sometime later but I just got back from a camping trip where me, Kyle Banerjee, Joe Toth (our wanderer from Vermont), Bryan Miyagishima and Betty (I forget her last name right now) rode our bikes from Diamond Lake to Crater Lake, around the rim and back. Its actually quite…

  • Lots of climbing

    Well, after feeling utterly embarrassed by my weak climb up Mary’s Peak, I’ve decided to start a little training program to get myself into climbing shape. While I don’t have anything as steep as Mary’s Peak to train on regularly, I did find what would be a “mini” Mary’s Peak on SoapBox road — which…

  • Mary’s Peak

    Kyle Banerjee and I took a trip to Mary’s Peak this weekend to get a bit of a hill workout. This is the largest mountain in the Coast Range in Oregon (about 4000+ feet) — not terribly large, but pretty constant climb. Reaching the summit is very worth it. On a clear day, you can…
