Cedar River Trail
A short out and back ramble on the lovely Cedar River Trail leads us to Seattle's watershed and a nice tour of the salmon restoration efforts going on there.
Scenic Beach State Park
Adventure can be had close to home if you keep your hearts open and curiously alert. We bicycle to Seabeck to spend the night and take a look at the oyster beach at Scenic Beach State Park.
“Dead”: A Ride to Auburn
A sixty mile out and back to take a look at "Dead", a small exhibit on the rise of the undertakers. That's how we roll around here.
Lazy Sunday Ride to the Beach
A Sunday like you want them all to be: interesting, relaxing, and with the people and things you love.
Vancouver from the Harbour
A perfect long weekend sitting on a boat in Vancouver, BC. Steps from the Granville Island Market, awesome trails system around Kits and False Creek, I spent more time lounging and walking than riding, but I am glad I took the bicycle along.
Rinko: Traveling with Your Bike in Japan
Traveling with your bike in Japan is not that hard, you just have to remember three simple things: cleanliness, expediency, and patience. There is no way a train conductor is going to let you and your filthy bike roll on to his train.
Bicycling the Noto Peninsula
Sure, there were a few stiff climbs, but I'd classify the five days to get around the Noto Peninsula as a leisurely ride with some of the best bicycling touring I've experienced.
Haiku for Weary Husband
I tried to write haiku every day while in Japan, but the only good ones came when considering my husband's utter collapse climbing the stiff little hills, no mere speed bumps, that constitute the majority of Japan.
This blog started, as many do, to keep the friends up to date while I was traveling. In my case, a long bike ride across Europe and move from Seattle to Boston in 2004.
