Hardhack! I’ve never heard that. What an odd name.
1 year agoAlso known as hardhack!
1 year agoTheir website just describes it as a pistachio mole verde, so presumably it’s some secret family recipe starting with pistachios and green moles.
1 year agoSome people might laugh at me for keeping a basic tool kit on each bike, in a little saddlebag. I have a pump mounted on each bike too. This applies to bikes I ride regularly. As my mother used to say, it's a good thing my head is well attached or I'd forget that too.
1 year agoThat was pretty insensitive, alright. We’ll post some photos of tent camps soon, which should help.
1 year agoSerious homesickness now. You're torturing me!
1 year agoDude. You've used up your nice-guy quota for the next month. Oregon is full of nice guys, but you're really pushing the envelope now. Be careful out there.
1 year agoLove to know how the pistachio sauce is made.
1 year agoJust a real feel good story! I am exhausted too, though.
1 year agoAh yes, the spindle end nut. Dodie's cracked when we were leaving Bath, England and we walked back to a bike shop, where the nice guy- which they seem to have some of there too, dug in his box and came up with the perfect replacement. Bike shops must keep boxes of stuff like this, to hand out like candies.
Every bike, and car, rider - every human actually - will have a story of being screwed by the lack of that one simple thing (key, ID, zip tie, screw, nut, etc. etc. ) that they normally have easy access to.
I fully confess to having realized I was riding without tools. I did that recently, realizing part-way through the ride that I had no spare tubes and no patch kit with me. I was lucky and didn't flat. I do worry each time I work on my tires that I'll forget to put the tire irons back in the tool bag though.
1 year ago... Interesting visual...
1 year agoGulls... galls me trying to figure out the minuscule differences...
1 year agoYou’re right. It would be a shame to forget about this day.

If I remember right last year May and June were wet, wet, wet and then about 3/4 of the way through June poof! just like someone had flipped a switch the clouds disappeared and it was clear and dry for quite a while. I was the beneficiary of the change, having set off on 2 July for my abortive trip home.
