Just a handful of photos from our brunching in NW Portland (one of our favorites, Besaw’s, has recently reopened in their new space and it was time to check it out).

I just figured out how to pair my phone with my Sena bluetooth helmet system in media only mode so it acts like a glorified iPod (and I can’t actually get calls through my helmet comms system – win!) and got my GPS paired. Now I have my playlists at my disposal and I can […]
Lady Rider! Rock and ROOOOOLLLL!
Today was a Target run day. I almost always get interesting looks doing the Target room by bike, but today I had a pretty awesome encounter. A mom was unloading her youngster from the back seat, and the kid looked at me and my bike and said “Mom! Loooook!” as he pointed excitedly at my bike. […]
Commuting By Cage Sucks
Finally got back on the bike today after my holiday break and Portland’s snow-and-ice-pocalypse over the last few days.

We’ve been having epic rains (yesterday broke the record for the most rain in a day in Portland EVER) and lots of road flooding, but tonight I wound up taking the massively long way round […]

Scott Correy – It was drizzly and in the high 30’s today… | Facebook My awesome husband wrote this earlier. I think he summed up the joy it is to ride every day, in all sorts of weather.
New shock = New ride
Well almost 🙂 Went on a ride with the husband today (it’s Saturday – time for the weekly brunch run to our favorite local brunch spot) for the first time since he installed my new shock. I’ve gotten used to his ‘helpful’ comments on my riding over the years, but today I got the best comments […]
First Look: Sena Bluetooth Audio
So I got a Sena bluetooth audio system for my bike today. This awesome icon was on the side of the box. Can’t wait to actually hear my GPS voice prompts again, with my Invisible Beauty!
