After pedaling the relentless hills south of Ritner Creek covered bridge, I can hardly imagine you guys wanting to to do it round trip. I don't blame you for passing on all the hills, with possible rain.
I'm back home now, with a cracked front rim that barely survived the trip.
Love the video❤️
2 years agoHi Cheryl,
Sorry you couldn't make the beginning of the bridge tour, especially the part about staying in Portland. It would have been nice to say "hello".
Enjoy the rest of your trip.

My sympathies on your mystery noise.
I would also like to visit a bike shop. There is just one here in Taos. They open at 11 AM. I called them to see if they could look at my rough shifting ( my bike fell over, I hope it’s not a bent derailleur hanger). David was less than enthusiastic about helping me. He said they open at 11, but have 70 bikes to wheel outside and couldn’t possibly get to it before 13 or 12:30. I didn’t even get to the part about it being a recumbent.
There’s a shop in Pagosa. I think I will call them.
Best of luck getting it fixed. Maybe Richard Here’s look alike has changed shops and you will get to see him again!
I remember the cookies Jim brought us at the top of Hoosier Pass during the fall colors tour!
2 years agoI still have over 1/2 a cookie left-nibbling on it a bit at a time to avoid the sugar coma :)
2 years agoI give Crumbl cookies to my clients. 1 cookie equals 4 and can through you into a sugar coma.
2 years agoWe will be in Springfield both Monday and Tuesday night. We are taking a rest day there. We are looking forward to meeting you on Tuesday!
2 years agoAre you in Lebanon or Sweet Home?
Do you plan to be in Springfield on Monday night or Tuesday night?
I will be in Springfield on Tuesday night. If you're in Springfield Monday night I will probably see you on the road between Springfield and Creswell.
Kelly, Corvallis Cyclery was, probably still is, the closest Bacchetta dealer to me. Bacchetta only sells through dealers. No direct sales.
2 years agoDahlenberg covered bridge was a high school shop project. Lebanon has a well deserved reputation as a down and out former sawmill town.
2 years agoWe’ll likely be back in CA before the weather dries out too much so I hope to miss the pollen explosion.
2 years agoI had heard about local honey and have been eating it for 2 years. I don’t really think it has helped at all.
2 years agoIn case I've never mentioned it before, Jerry Harp says eating local honey cured his COPD. He used to land in the hospital a couple of times a winter with an attack. Since adding local honey to his oatmeal each morning, he hasn't been hospitalized once. Jerry just had his 81st birthday. It might not help, but it can't hurt!
Coughing is no fun. I had a dry cough for a couple of weeks after I had COVID. It gets old.
Bad luck on the cracked rim! Does that mean you are calling off or postponing the rest of your tour?
