Girl Travels World

Although it will probably rain for the entire month of June, the past ten days have made Portlanders think: summer is here! And, with summer, comes camping! And bikes! And vacations!

Since everyone is so pressed for time nowadays, Charlie and I decided to combine all three and are heading to Colorado in two weeks, swinging by Crater Lake and a few other parks along the way to swim, camp, and relax. Then, in Colorado, we have a 6-day bike tour that he is helping to guide and I am just hoping to survive. It’s a mountain pass a day….wish me luck

Other summer plans include a trip to LA…and who knows where else!

I’ve got some fun (domestic) trips planned - one to Omaha for a wedding (I love Omaha!) for 36 hours in April and then another in June to take on the scenery of Colorado for a killer climb-a-mountain-pass-every-day bike tour. Hmmm…now to just get myself ready for the challenge!

I was reading up on the OBRA listserve today - because I get it emailed in digest form, sometimes I'm a little slower with the news. One of the big discussions was in regards a race I had planned on ... [Continue reading this entry]

For my frantic week, sometimes there is nothing to do but match it with a frantic weekend - or, at least, a frantic Saturday! Saturday ended up being an amazing ride - what began as a proposed ride with Charlie turned ... [Continue reading this entry]

This week has been absolutely crazy - lots of writing for work and some decent workouts as well. To reward myself, I'm going out for happy hour. Whoo hoo! However, I can't get too crazy 'cause a ... [Continue reading this entry]
