Jan 10: Going the Distance Presentation @ REI

Save the date! Tuesday January 10 @ 7PM I’m hosting a panel discussion @ REI’s Flagship store about long distance cycling. Despite (or because of?) our consistently drippy weather, the Pacific Northwest has perhaps the deepest bench of long distance cycling enthusiasts in North America if not the world. The presentation will feature some of [...]

A bounty of book love for bibliophiles in Bend, Oregon (plus leave a comment to win a $20 gift certificate for Between the Covers bookstore!)

I love books. Blame it on the fact that my parents let me read under the covers with a flashlight as a kid, or on my degree in English Lit, or on my not-so-secret other life as a romantic comedy author. Lucky for me (and for other bibliophiles!) there?s lots of book-related fun to be [...]

Top 25 hiking blogs that send visitors to Two-Heel Drive

Tonight I checked my Google Analytics logs and compiled the top 25 hiking blogs most likely to link back to Two-Heel Drive. They reflect a welcome trend: We’re starting to see a return to the good old days when hiking bloggers linked to each other all time. Each act of linking encouraged more linking, creating a beneficial cycle of goodwill — and Google juice. Over the past couple years it seemed like so much linking and sharing had gravitated to Facebook and Twitter that it was becoming nigh unto impossible to attract inbound traffic from other bloggers. Now I’m glad to see things are turning around. Of course the main motivation for linking should be to point out cool content on sites you admire, but there’s another excellent side benefit: the more you link to other sites, the more likely they’ll link back to you. Those inbound links are a huge deal in Google’s eyes. The more you have, the better your site ranks. These are my top 25 referrers, in order of most traffic they sent in the past 30 days: 1. Hiking Finland Hendrik Morkel’s week-in-review posts send tons of traffic my way on the times I’m lucky [...]

Handball ?Effective Teams are Organized? Reflection

Reflect on your teams performance in detail. I think our team was pretty effective and organized. We were organized, because we would have a plan for when we play and it would most likely work out but sometimes it wouldn’t go so great. Our group (Ben, Andreas, Tomo, Cliodhna and Anya) used two styles of [...]
