Hi everyone. Hope your summer is going well. Just a quick note to share that I’ll be out of town for the next 10 days or so. That means things will look a bit different here on the blog and our social channels. I should have time to edit a few guest articles and post a few random things on social. And I might be able to respond to major breaking stories if warranted, but I’m not going to promise much beyond what I’ve already got in the hopper.

I will also not be at Bike Happy Hour tonight or the following week (Wednesday 8/7), so make sure to see Carey Booth if you need a name tag or stickers or anything else. I’ll be back at Bike Happy Hour on August 14th and back in the Shed on August 12th.

Note that this is a family trip (my mom’s 75th birthday down in southern California!), not a work trip, so my focus will be on family and taking a break from the daily grind of BikePortland. Please be patient and alter your expectations. I’ve got another trip coming later in August but I’ll share more on that when I get back from this first one.

Thanks for your understanding and support.
