Holy schnikee its August already!  It has been a little while since we have updated the progress we have made toward our goal of biking 700 miles this season.  Well, I am happy to report that we really had some great weather during July so we piled on quite a few miles.  At the time I am writing this, we have a total of 529 miles under our belts!  Woot!!  If you recall, Nancy and I are kind of fair weather bikers so our biking season wraps up toward the end of September for the most part.  So I’m thinking we are indeed going to make that 700 miles nooooo problema.  Interested in one of our favorite Oregon biking routes?  Send us a route request via comment and we’ll give you a sure fire winner of a route to go out and enjoy.

     For one thing we are guaranteed to rack up another 40 miles of blissful biking this coming weekend (August 14, 2016) at the Covered Bridge Bicycle Tour or CBBT.  Remember wayyyyy back in the spring when Laurelhurst Park by Brian Lopezwe signed up for that?  Well, in what seems like a blink of an eye the time has come to strap our bikes to the family truckster and head on down to Albany, Oregon for what will surely be a beautiful countryside ride.  Hope to see you there!

     For another thing, August Sunday Parkways is coming up fast on the 21st.  August’s Parkways features a lovely route throughout the southeast part of Portland and activity stops at several parks including one of our favorites Laurelhurst Park.  Laurelhurst Park can trace its design roots back to the Olmsted Brothers whose father designed New York’s Central Park.  The park was designed by Emanuel Mische who was also a longtime horticultural expert with the Olmsted Brothers landscape design firm.  Super cool factoids!  Anyhoo, we hope you’ll come on out and join us for this ride too!
