Kevin finished up at the conference and came back to the Airstream this afternoon in time for us to take a nice 17 mile bike ride. We rode to the store and got some supplies to make burgers (grass-fed beef, chorizo, lettuce for buns, tomato, gorgonzola, and some yams to…

I rode this morning into Morgan Hill via the Coyote Creek Trail (14.14 miles). We're having the gang over to the Airstream tonight again (taco night!) and I decided we needed some chips and salsa. (Meaning: an excuse to go back to the store on my bike!) It hasn't rained…

This morning we had our friends Bob & Sissy over for breakfast at the Airstream. I made a frittata with some local farm eggs, chorizo, bacon, kale, mushrooms, tomatoes, and a little bit of pepper jack, and Sissy and Bob brought mimosas. It was a lovely morning. Next, we packed…

Alright, so we got our new Bike Friday Silks in Eugene last week and we LOVE them. (Mine is the white one, Kevin's is the black one.) I love it more than any other bike I've ever had, and I seem to have done the same thing with this bike…

We really really love Bodega Bay. You know when you go somewhere and the place just resonates perfectly with you? For whatever reason…this place did that. The combination of all the hiking trails along the coastal bluffs, the funky Hitchcock history (The Birds!!!), the friends we met the first time…
