Post aus Amerika!

Ein kleines Kuvert war heute im (richtigen, analogen) Postkastel. Absender: Leider nicht die Erbtante aus Amerika, sondern Mary, die Organisatorin der Coffeeneuring-Challenge. Coffeeneuring – eine Challenge, wo es nicht um xxx Kilometer in xx Tagen geht, kein schneller, höher, weiter, sondern einfach ein paar (gemütliche) Fahrten – hier die Regeln: The challenge is essentially as…

Coffeeneuring 2022 Challenge Wrap-Up

Enjoying my coffee at Berrydale Park at sunset. 10 Nov 2022 Olympus Pen EES-2/Kodak Portra 160 Hello, friends. I finished it on the last day possible, but finish it I did: I have completed this year’s Coffeeneuring Challenge. Yay! I’ve been doing it since 2013, which means next year will mark 10 years. I’ve participated each year, though there was at least one year I didn’t get in all seven…

Coffeeneuring 2022, Rides 6 and 7: Houston!

Coffeeneuring 2022, Rides 6 and 7: Houston!

One of the things that I try to do with each Coffeeneuring Challenge is “make it spicy”. I like to do a ride or three that’s different than my others. The easiest way to make it spicy is by doing a ride in another location that’s not Portland. Doing it in another state, and especially in an area that I have never biked before, makes it extra spicy. For this year’s challenge, my last two rides…

Coffeeneuring 2022, Ride 5: Coffee Outside plus Oracle Coffee, Sat 12 Nov

Coffeeneuring 2022, Ride 5: Coffee Outside plus Oracle Coffee, Sat 12 Nov

Well, I might be able to finish out the Coffeeneuring Challenge after all! Ride 5 is pushing me into that direction, even though as a ride it was a mixed bag. It was another dry and sunny, but cool day here in Portland. #pdxcoffeeoutside was taking place at Sellwood Riverfront Park, a spot that they hit up last year around this time. I hadn’t done a coffee outside in a while, and wanted to do at…

Coffeeneuring 2022, Ride 4: Futura Coffee, Thurs 10 Nov

Last time we checked in with you fine folks I was complaining about the weather, how after a hot and dry first two thirds of October we moved straight into winter. It was a good three weeks of much rain. Yeah, there were a few breaks, but dark and damp dominated. We basically got all of the rain we usually get in October during the final ten days of the month. The first week of November also…

Coffeeneuring 2022, Ride 3: Human Bean, Sat 5 Nov

As I stated in my last Coffeeneuring post, it’s going to be catch as catch can for the remainder of this year’s challenge. Maybe I’ll get in all 7 needed by November 20th, maybe I’ll get an Honorable Mention. After a dry and actually hot start to October, the last third of October saw the much-needed rains return. But they haven’t really left. We went from summer to winter with no real autumn in…

Coffeeneuring 2022, Ride 2: Rosebridge Coffee, Thurs 3 Nov

As the Coffeeneuring Challenge moves towards its conclusion on November 20th, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I might not get in seven rides before it’s done. I started pretty late, my first ride happening two weeks after it started. And then a good week-plus of COVID and recovery meant that even more time slipped away. It’s still entirely possible I can pull it off, but I’m also not going…
