Since I work from home, I don’t always get to ride nearly as much as I’d like. I’ve decided to rectify that by doing Sunday rides. My inaugural ride was today, and I decided to go somewhere completely and entirely new today. I ventured to Sauvie Island, the largest island in the Columbia River, and […]
If One Moto Suit is Good…
Datgatt (by TheEbicat) Not only did I have to get a new motorbike suit a while back (my Dainese Teren) because my old suit was too big, the husband also needed to get a new Aerostich Roadcrafter because his old one was too big. After seeing him in his new suit, I joked that he […]
Adventure
DIY Electric Tank Bag
Now that I live in an area with roads (lots of roads, compared to Alaska), I’ve decided I’d like to actually use the audio turn-by-turn feature on my GPS. I also really, really like listening to my iPod, especially on long rides. Dilemma, right? Wrong! I ordered up a Mixit device (check them out here […]
The Utah 1088
I’m in Salt Lake City because Scott did the Utah 1088 (bummer, he was a DNF due to the extreme heat). We visited the Great Salt Lake today. Scott snapped this photo of me taking a photo of the lake.

Day Trip Through The Gorge

We decided to head east to Hood River, which is renowned for wind surfing and beer. We enjoyed neither today, but we did have some absolutely delish fish and […]
Going to A Pop-Up!
Guess where I was yesterday!
First Look: Dainese Teren D-Dry Suit
Brand-new motorbike suit, because my old Rallye 2 was massively too big. I love new gear!! :). This one is the Dainese Teren D-Dry, an all-season touring suit with tons of venting for warm days and what appears to be really robust layers for cold days. Once I’ve sufficiently road-tested it, I’ll be sure to […]
Day Trip To St Helens
Just got back from a lovely brunch run up US 30 to St Helens (incidentally, I discovered that St Helens was one of several filming locations for the first Twilight movie). We checked out a new (to us) restaurant, the Klondike, in old towne St Helens. The crab omelette was superb, and the ride was […]
