The run on nice weather that allowed us to get out and ride our mountain bikes has kind of ended. “Kind of” because the “normal” weather for this time of year(if there is such a thing as normal weather in the PacNW), which would be rain, snow and cold, has not fully returned, but some … Read more
Took a bit of time, sorry about that, but the photos taken during the July and August Mountain Bike Oregon have been posted on the WatermanAtWork.com website. Link to the 2012 MBO photos
The weather forecast continues to call for rain and snow, but it continues to remain dry here in the Pacific Northwest. Today was cloudier and cooler than it has been for the past couple weeks and the wind started to kick up. A quick look at the Portland, OR weather radar shows rain on the … Read more
The weather forecast for rain and/or snow last night turned out to be mostly wrong, it was cold but no rain or snow. This unbelievable winter weather is not going to last forever so, if you can, get outside and take advantage of it, even for a few minutes. Had to hit the trails, so … Read more
The unbelievably nice weather continued through the past weekend, near 60° and sunshine. Sunday we headed out west to the Tillamook State Forest for some mountain bike riding in the Coastal Mountains of Oregon. It wasn’t as sunny near the coast as it was in the Gorge, but partly sunny with a few scattered, light … Read more

Usually, the weather around here this time of year is dismal; and I’m being optimistic about that. When it’s dry, sunny and 45° in the … Read more
We are really getting lucky with the winter weather here, mild winter so far for sure. I hope that doesn’t mean winter will last until August like last year, but what can you do? A little cold this morning, but clear skies, so we head out on the trails. Today we went back to the … Read more
Today we were lucky enough to ride the Klickitat Trail, some call it the Klickitat River Trail, on a beautiful winter day. It was supposed to be showers and cloudy but it turned out to be clear and sunny! We’ll take any nice day during this time of year, today was a nice one. On … Read more
Today we headed out to the Syncline, an area of trails near Bingen, Washington. The Syncline is a spectacular geologic formation; an ancient basalt flow. It is also a very popular spot with mountain bikers, dog walkers and hikers. Maybe even an equestrian or two. The popularity of the Syncline with mountain bikers has led … Read more
