The only border crossing that I have under my belt is NY/NJ. I thought about diverting a little out of my way last year to cross in to WI, but decided against it. Maybe that'll be a goal this year. Other than that, though, I'm not terribly close to any other borders. It's probably 100 miles or more to the IA border, and I'm just not crazy enough to tackle that round trip in one day.

WA -> OR by bike more often. It costs $1.65 just to get across the river on the bus, but day passes are a buck cheaper in Portland, so I'll ride over to PDX, get a day pass. Bus, train and ride bikes for the day, then I'll take the bus back across the river since I already have my day pass.

... for a day pass.
Single bus trip in Vanc is $1.65 vs $2.50 in Portland.
Multi-bus trip, with the last leg starting within 2-hours of the first is $2.50 in both locales
Best deal around is the bus from Woodburn to Oregon City - $1 for a 20 mile bus trip !!!

Our winter spinach is ready for the first harvest of the season. These guys have been overwintering in the hoop house,
dormant until the daylight lengthens and the ground thaws. Once the thaw comes, they're ready to go.
And exceptionally good flavor too, having been in the cold for so long. Sauteed with chopped garlic . . . yyyumm!!

Just one of those days... !@#$%^&*()_+)&(*^#@!#^#)%&*(*$^%&$
What is the point in a derailleur hanger ripping off to protect the derailleur if that damned thing is going to get sucked into your wheel?
...and how does one make their bike a single speed to get home? Just throw the chain on the desired cog and go?
Pfffft:
