An Eastern Oregon Memory
An Eastern Oregon Memory from Russ Roca on Vimeo.
It feels like ages since we were out on the road in Eastern Oregon. The grey skies of Portland are making us long for sunny days and wide open roads. I got an email this afternoon from a reader turned friend from Denton, Texas. He’s a talented musician and sent me a couple of tracks that he recorded in his living room. One wisp of a song called “Gravel” really hit me with a mix of wanderlust and sadness. I fired up Final Cut and put together a little montage to the music. Perhaps as a reminder that though the sky is grey and our pockets a little thin, we’ve had some great adventures and more await us in the future.
I spent 2 and a half years in Eastern Oregon and 8 years in Central Oregon. I do miss that land. Nicely done.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
Great videos all of them!
It seems as if you don’t use traditional road cycling clothing, like Lycra shorts and jersey’s. I’m intrigued by that. But doesn’t flappier clothes drag you down? If not, I’d like to hear from you what you think makes good touring clothing! I have some L.L.Bean stuff (like sunblocker “tropic weight” shirts, shorts and traveler slacks, etc.). Would that sort of thing be good to use on long distance stuff? It’s cheaper than the traditional biking clothes, too! Thanks.
