This is the second month of the challenge to bike on 150 days this year.  Each day is documented by a photo with a bike from the ride, and numbered.  See here for background and the first month of the challenge. 05/150, May 1st: against a millwheel, on an ice cream break in Elos, on … Continue reading "Cycle days challenge: May"

The Cycle Days Challenge: April

Posted: April 26, 2018 Under: Uncategorized By Scott Anderson no Comments

On our sister site, Cycle365, Suzanne posted a challenge that I’m taking up.  It’s a pretty simple idea – set a personal goal of a number of days on which to ride during the year, and post a single photograph for each day as the year progresses. I’m setting my goal at 150, which is … Continue reading "The Cycle Days Challenge: April"

Hankering for Chania

Posted: March 25, 2018 Under: Europe By Scott Anderson no Comments

One month from tomorrow, Rachael and I fly out for Chania, the starting point for our eight week tour of Greece and southern Albania.  We’ve been planning for and anticipating this tour for a long time now –  we booked our flight back in December, in those long ago days before we decided to uproot … Continue reading "Hankering for Chania"

So where’s the blog?

Posted: March 22, 2018 Under: Articles By Scott Anderson no Comments

Some of you will have noticed that there’s very little activity on this site, even though it’s the one that we advertise on our personal cards. There’s a reason for this.  It isn’t that I’m not blogging our rides any more – it’s just that I’m primarily doing it elsewhere.  We plan to log all … Continue reading "So where’s the blog?"

Last orders at the Lucky Laborador

Posted: January 31, 2018 Under: Articles By Scott Anderson no Comments

Not much of a ride today – a flat three miles to the Lucky Lab and back.  Still, that’s more than I’ve been riding on most days since we returned from Hawaii.  In the last two weeks I’ve only been on the bike three times, for a total of about 40 miles.  This, in spite … Continue reading "Last orders at the Lucky Laborador"

Riverstone

Posted: January 20, 2018 Under: Articles By Scott Anderson no Comments

Rachael and I moved to Portland sixteen years ago this spring.  We were living in Salem at the time, and moving from our home to a condominium – another downsizing project.  I’ve been thinking about that move lately of course, because it was the last time we had to deal with readying our home for … Continue reading "Riverstone"

Shedding a few mathoms

Posted: January 15, 2018 Under: Articles By Scott Anderson no Comments

So we returned from our short bike tour of the Big Island  three days ago.  We had a wonderful tour, as we usually seem to do any more, and found cycling there to be much more attractive than we’d really been expecting.  For all the travelling we’ve done, it’s a bit surprising that we’ve never been to … Continue reading "Shedding a few mathoms"

Pick of the day: cold comfort

Posted: December 27, 2017 Under: Images By Scott Anderson no Comments

Portland had a semi-white Christmas this year, with about a half inch accumulating on the valley floor.  Three days later there’s still some residual build-up.  This is Dans La Nuit, a sculpture in front of the art museum:

Reliving Corsica

Posted: December 26, 2017 Under: Articles By Scott Anderson no Comments

Now that we have our own website and are free to post anything we want, I’ve been going back through all of the tours Rachael and I have shared together and begun posting them here.  For some of these tours in the past I maintained a pretty decent journal; but for a number of them there are … Continue reading "Reliving Corsica"

Pick of the day: Christmas with Lynn

Posted: December 25, 2017 Under: Images By Scott Anderson no Comments

Our good fiend Lynn was up for Christmas, bringing a small ice storm with her.  We were mostly housebound, happily staying warm and catching up with each others’ lives, but we did manage to get out for a short walk along the waterfront.
