First Cold Weekend Pilgrimage to Rivendell Bike Works

When the weather turns cold, it is time to make the ride to Rivendell Bicycle Works to look over the wool and lugs vibe. When you live in the same town as Rivendell, it is better than living in Portland! I rode the Ital down to the shop, and spoke to Mark about the new (at least to me) the Bombadil a trail cruzer. I also spotted the revamped bull moose bars with the nice sweep. The Crackberry helped satisfy my bar fettish.

Commute by Colnago

On the non-court days I commute to work on “The Iron Horse Trail.” The commute is about 40 min. Commuting on the Colnago is a real treat. It makes nice furniture, and I can look at it while I suffer the bordom of all that is the legallawyerattorneyworld. On the way it is a perfect meditation tool for gaining insight on the day. At day’s end it is perfect for forgetting about the hassels.

Dahlias at Strybing Arboretum

I took a half day off last week and went for a ride. I ended up at the arboretum in GG park and checked out the Dahlia Garden. Beautiful.
