Bit of a breather

I'm taking a bit of a breather from the blog...  as I've got a few things to do for the Caledonia Ramblers.  The good news is that I have finally have recovered from the bike trip.  I swear that it took a whole month to feel just right!  I don't know if this is normal or not, but I have heard that people doing extreme adventures need time to recover afterwards, although I don't consider what I did, extreme, like racing down 'Divide' in a record amount of time. Oh well.  I hope you've enjoyed my posting of my bike trip photos, most of which I wasn't able to upload and post until I came back...

I've been putting the studded tires on Floyd to prep him for Winter riding, but so far the weather has been excellent.  I can still wear Summer clothing.. amazing! Although I am sure that will change soon.  No complaints from me.  I should bring my camera with me, I missed an opportunity for photos when I took a ride on a local special steam engine train this weekend.

I have been offered a free beater bike to take Floyd's place eventually.  It's another cheap bike that I don't mind trashing....

Biked across a state border

I've walked across a major border once, when I hiked on the Chilkoot Trail.. I crossed from the USA into Canada.

Humbug to Oregon - Last bit of Oregon - the end of one chapter and soon, the beginning of another in the journey.


Here's some more photos that I took on my trip... I really love the cat one, he/she seemed to be right at home in the bookstore, and what's a bookstore without a resident cat?

Seven Devils and other random Pacific Coast Bike Trip Photos.

It's really hard to choose photos to post here. I have so many to choose from. I don't want to post all in the case that someone coming here will view my slideshow... anyways, here's another post of only some of the photos that I took.  I had the slideshow in mind while travelling, hence the ton of photos.
