  • Days 1&2: Oregon

    After a few days with the Johnsons (thanks again Chark!), we drove out to the coast. We didn’t know if our camp site had ocean access, so we stopped in Seaside for photos: turns out they did have beach access, so I took some more the next day while Bob finished packing up: Yesterday I…

  • Greetings from Keizer, Oregon

    We drove into Oregon on Tuesday, and have been staying with our friends Cheryl and Mark – who have been amazing hosts that make very good pizza.

    We’re on our way to the west coast! Thanks to Brandon and everyone at Burk’s Tavern for the amazing fundraiser/send-off party.

They haven’t published the route yet, but it’s usually a 100 mile route from Westminster to Fort Collins, then around 50 miles back the next day. I’m still unsure if it’ll be cancelled/postponed due to Covid19. But even if it doesn’t…

    I’m riding Bike MS Colorado as part of Team Left Hand again this year. We’ll do 100 miles from Denver to Fort Collins, finishing over the Horsetooth Reservoir dam. The next day, we’ll do 76 miles to return to Denver. I’d appreciate your support – even just $5 would be awesome. Donate here. Here’s what…
