Thought Distillery

A few weekends ago, I was delighted to welcome a visit from the one and only Pedestrian Saga. To properly honor the arrival of the Velo Queen, I thought it only appropriate to meet her at the airport via bicycle. I departed Corvallis early saturday and pedaled the 35 miles in about the same amount of time as the flying carpet from southern California traveled its 891.6 miles. Well, in theory thats how it was supposed to work out. In reality, I only brought along with me 2 bananas worth of fuel and after 30 miles I completely ran out of oomph and bonked real hard. Then it started to rain. Out of energy, I slowly crawled the final miles to the airport where my tired and soggy self was greeted by she who was so patient.

Thus a wonderful weekend began. Much fun was had as we explored the Eugene saturday market, poked through tide pools, baked sweet potato pie, and generally luxuriated with minds far away from everyday stress and concern. Allow me to point out the photo link to some of the weekend’s activities. Rumor has it that the last set of photos were not immediately noticed as I failed to write a jacket blurb post such as this one. My most sincere apologies for neglecting my blog duties!
