Alabama Wedding, Part Two
May 7-15 For our second day in Memphis we were committed to getting in a good bike ride, one with moderate distance on a safe route, giving us another type of look at the city. With a little bit of research on the web we found a greenway, the Shelby Farms Greenline that we could […]
Cycle North Carolina Spring Coast Ride 2017
April 27-30 The end of the month rolled around and we prepared to depart for Oriental, North Carolina for three nights there to bicycle the Cycle North Carolina (CNC) Coastal Ride 2017. This is one of three multi-day rides this organization sponsors each year and includes a summer weekend long Mountain Ride and a […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Solana Beach, Part Three
Timeline: October 8-14 As planned for that Thursday, we set out on the bikes to ride down to San Diego. I’ve ridden these roads and this route a number of times so could rely on memory for most of it and found it served me well. No sooner had we started riding then there was […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – San Clemente
Timeline: October 6-7 We spent a pleasant Wednesday night at Sheila and J.B.’s place ( one of the best parts of the trip has been the opportunity to spend quality time with people we don’t get to see too often) and took off Thursday morning to drive to Escondido to meet my former boss […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Los Angeles
Timeline: October 3-5 We left the apartment Monday morning not long after Jessica and Kris took off for work, a routine we’ve grown used to in the last few years given our frequent trips here. As we’ve done before we stopped at a Starbucks just off the I-580 around Livermore, then continued to the […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Oakland, Part Two
Timeline: September 29 – October 2 After a better night’s sleep, we arose to a day with not much planned, just dinner out later on at Chez Panisse. While Kris and I hung out at the apartment, Joanna and Jessica spent the morning in Berkeley getting Joanna a new piercing for her ear. Later in […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Bend
Timeline: September 15-18 The drive to Bend wouldn’t take long so we dawdled a bit in the morning before heading south on the I-5 to cross over the Cascades at Salem. As we’ve posted about Bend before when visiting my brother, I’ll condense this report on our visit as much of it was taken up […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Portland – Part Two
Timeline: September 12-14 With Brian off to work early Tuesday morning we spent a bit more time getting caught up with Colleen and then the three of us drove into downtown Portland for a stop at Powell’s, self-described as the largest independent new and used bookstore in the world. And as one of our […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Moab – Part Two
Timeline: September 7-11 With four nights and three full days in Moab, we decided to dedicate Friday to bike riding, relaxing and shopping. We’d inquired about road bike routes around town (there are hundreds of miles of dirt biking trails close by) and with information in hand took off from camp heading north out […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Black Hills – Part Two
Timeline: August 30-September 2 As planned we left camp in the morning heading for the George Mickelson Trail, roughly an hour away at the trailhead in Rochford. We took the scenic route through Spearfish Canyon and drove down into Spearfish on Main Street to get to it, only to encounter a detour caused by a […]
