Portland is such a great city for biking. I know, this is not a newsflash. Portland has Platinum level status as a bicycle-friendly community (one of three Platinum communities in the United States) and Oregon is #3 in the rank of bicycle-friendly states in the U.S. Pretty cool. Anyway, we…

So, in a few weeks we will be headed to Italy. I've never been and I'm super excited! We have some good friends getting married in Florence at the end of the month (the reason for the trip). We decided to add some time onto that and now we'll have…

Yesterday afternoon we took our bikes downtown to check out the Springwater Corridor Trail in Portland. I didn't take any photos until we were on our way back and the sun was setting…look at that sky! This is a great trail and a whole different way to see the city. We rode…

I stayed back at the Airstream and worked while Kevin conferenced it up yesterday and I needed a break from the dinette office, so I went for a short ride on the Coyote Creek Trail (6.5 miles). It was a stormy sky and a windy ride.

Turns out there's a great bike path just around the corner from the RV Park here: The Coyote Creek Trail. I just rode over to Target and back to get a few things (13.5 miles) and it was lovely. I saw probably a dozen hawks, turkey vultures, geese, many other…

Today we rode our bikes over to Chateau Montelena. If you've seen the movie Bottleshock, or if you know about the 1976 Paris blind tasting upset (also known as the "Judgment of Paris") when a California Chardonnay won first prize over its French competitors (unthinkable!), then you'll probably have heard of this…
