Cabin Camping Weekend

The urge to get out for a quick overnight of biking and camping was pretty strong at the start of November.  I knew that most of the month was booked up with birthday, Thanksgiving and the RV show at the start of the month, so I booked pretty far out and got a cabin for…

Deschutes River Old Railbed Trail

After the Klickitat Trail ride a couple weeks ago, I was committed to riding the old railbed trail out of the Deschutes River State Park . I wanted to hit it up before the end of 2016.  The weather here in the PDX area this October has been best described as crappy.  I saw on…
