Definitely we should meet up at the HAC HQ. you’ll recognize me by my Scott’s-plaid mask.
4 years agoThank you once again for your informative, beautiful and entertaining journal. It's one thing to ride just about every day for months on end but then to also, each day, assemble such a great online journal is a real gift to us all.
I've heard that the backyard of the HAC World Headquarters, only ten blocks from where you will be staying, is a nice place to gather. We should meet there sometime while you are in town.
Thanks again, Bob. It will be nice to scale back for a few weeks, though I’m sure we’ll be back intermittently. As much as anything it will be a relief to come to some closure about what we’re going to do next. Such a catastrophic time we’re living in! If it’s this unsettling for us, I can only imagine what it must be like for people with more serious problems and fewer options than we’re fortunate enough to have.
4 years agoStranger things have happened.
4 years agoWell, us Cycleblaze fans will miss your near-daily reports, but maybe us Cycle365 fans will be the beneficiaries of your Cycleblaze hiatus. I mean, you've got to blog SOMEWHERE to keep your writing skills sharp.
4 years agoSounds delicious! My mouth is drupling in anticipation.
4 years agoAnd for dessert? Tonight we have either a drupe cobbler or if you'd like something cooler, a drupe sorbet.
4 years agoI’d like a berry. But a drupe? Foop!
4 years agoI think you meant dognabit.
We’ll be staying in an AirBnB basement unit in SE, sort of near the Hawthorne District and about 10 blocks from the Portland HAC center.
Oh, nuts! I forgot about some of our favorite candy treats: drupe roca and drupe joy. (I was surprised to see that almond are a drupe also, and considered technically a fruit rather than a nut).
4 years agoMmm! Salmonberry ice cream would have been perfect.
4 years agoIt's been said before, but I think it's worth saying again. THANK YOU for the work that you've put into this journal. I've looked forward every day to logging in and seeing what you guys have been up to. Seems like you have a knack for finding interesting places to ride, and the photos and commentary are always great.
Good luck with your visit to the wound doc. I hope it all goes well. And I'm looking forward to reading about Croatia (and hopefully Greece) in the coming months! In the meantime, enjoy just riding and having a break from posting.
Brilliant!
I would love to be in a room full of marketing people as explore ways to spark consumer enthusiasm for Drupe Oil.
A jingle, perhaps?
Feeling droopy?
Kinda poopy?
Drop your toil!
Buy Drupe Oil!
Foop! and Dagnabit!
Sorry to hear about the wound needing follow-up care.
Where will youse be staying in Portland?
I really hope your leg soon restarts the healing process and that your plans for a fall overseas touring adventure come to pass - it's always a treat reading what you and Rachael are up to!
4 years agoHopefully the secret police force will be out of Portland by the time you arrive.
