Bike Packing / Touring
Read about our adventures on the bike! We started out on the tandem, and have slowly been progressing toward more single bike adventures.
Portland to the Coast – Trask Trail
How does one get to the coast without it being a miserable ride along a highway? As it turns out there are a couple different routes, we chose the Trask Trail.
Biking the Bitterroot
The Bitterroot is a compilation of various rail trails making a 300 kilometer loop near the Bitterroot Mountains in Idaho. The route strings together the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, Northern Pacific Trail…
A Taste of the Wachau Valley, Austria
Amidst an adventure of itself, I wanted to write a quick post about our recent ride in the Wachau Valley, Austria. Andrew and I recently embarked on a river cruise down the Danube…
Eastern Oregon – Final Thoughts
Well we did it. Andrew and I rode 25 days around mostly North Eastern Oregon. We didn't go quite as far as we had originally set our sites, but it was overall a…
Eastern Oregon – Day 22-25; The Willamette Valley. Springfield to Portland (Home)
After being out in the rain so long yesterday, we decided to book a hotel and avoid it today.... read more about days 22-25 (Link to Day 1 included in this post)

Eastern Oregon – Day 14-16; Central Oregon Scenic Bikeways. Camp Creek Campground to Mitchell
Just like we promised ourselves, we got up early to beat the heat. What we were not anticipating by leaving at 6am is riding in the super cold. Day 14-16.
Eastern Oregon – Day 11-13; Returning West. Baker City to Lower Camp Creek
Today was filled with uncertainty. We had left our bikes at Trailhead, the local bike shop, overnight not knowing if they could fix Andrews broken spoke.
Eastern Oregon – Day 8-10; A Taste of the TransAmerica. Mitchell to Baker City.
We awoke to cowbells and cheering. The first Transamerica racer was passing through Mitchell around 6:20am 4 hours earlier than the first riders normally get to Mitchell in previous years apparently. The adventure…
