So a year ago this weekend, the intrepid cycling team of Rob and Tony saddled up before 4 AM in Seattle and rode 212 miles to Portland, crossing the finish line about 8 PM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That was my last year doing this! I am done with 200 miles days 🙂

This year, though, in honor of my 8000 best Seattle friends who lined up yesterday to ride, I decided I needed to do my part as well. Yesterday I wore the most recent 1 day STP t-shirt all day

And today, I put on the one day jersey for a 50 mile ride. I am pretty sure I will NOT forget this ride… Continue reading “Cycling the Oregon Coast is never dull!” →

A weekend off the bike

We moved down to Oregon on Saturday March 24th. On the 26th, I fired up the home office for the first time and we have been gong strong ever since. Working, walking on the beach, doing chores around the house, and in general, just living.

Cannon Beach 2017 Part III

by Mountainstroh (Tony), posted in Vacations

From the pictures I’ve posted you might not know it, but I am telling you, this has been a wild week of weather.  Tuesday night I was woken up more than once by the winds howling over our skylights. Add to it, heavy rains, followed by sun breaks, and its been fun.

The thing is, with northwest beaches, we KNOW we will get weather like this. Its part of the fun of going. But it sure as hell aint for wimps!  Continue reading “Cannon Beach 2017 Part III” →
