An old ride report from a month ago, April 20th.
I realized groups never quite go when I can and I needed to just get out and try the bike rack. Mentioned my thinking around, found someone for weekend adventures, so maybe it was a small group? 🙂 Or I am thinking #AdventureBuddies…working on thinking ….
PBOT came up with an online version of the Portland Citywide Bike Map. Still a “beta”. But hey.
I was looking at the Dirty Kanza ride and stumbled across this.
I Ride For Her from Salsa Cycles on Vimeo.
I was looking for a ride for this week and found there is a bike ride out of Maupin that looks fun: Sherar’s Falls Oregon Scenic Bikeway
I saw a Route Planning Guide on BikePacking and I realized that some of it I use and a couple of things I will add. The rest I will look at after a couple of trips and see what I could have done better.
First off, I love the Delorme’s Atlas and Gazetteer series of maps and have them for Washington and Oregon.
Then I really think OpenCycleMap is my next favorite along with RideWithGPS.
My new one to try will be BikeMap and I will let you know how it goes.
Wait, one that wasn’t in that article that I do use is the AdventureCycling Interactive Map, which is especially valuable for forest fires and other route conditions.
6 Years farther down the road, I clipped on the Arkel bags again (and I barely remembered my hack for the rack) and went here, where it always begins.
Camping this weekend on the Swift Campout 2016 with a group. Should be nice to get everything on the bike, as soon as I get it washed, adjusted, that rear wheel trued, and a few things purchased ….
Is there one of these that isn’t worth watching. Thanks Danny M.
