Is it called cycle touring or bikepacking?

Either way, it was pretty much the perfect way to avoid major highways and spend 6 days pedaling from Portland to the coast (and back).

Go Fast. The Lolo was made to dance up mountains

Go Fast.

The Lolo was made to dance up mountains and carve twisty descents.

Mixing ultra-light and responsive @columbus_official Life tubing with decades of road racing and riding experience, this smooth riding, light steel tubing is TIG welded with precision and fitted with an @envecomposites carbon fork, which results in a refined performance machine.

A modern road bike in design and style, with sloping top tube and double oversize tubing, the Lolo is a fast and responsive road machine that works and feels great all day long.

Changing weather means more of a need to bring you

Changing weather means more of a need to bring your layers along. That's why we love the Breadwinner Handlebar Bag, a compact option for stashing light layers.

Or... 🍩 🍌 🌯 🍕

We worked with @snekcycling to design this handy bag with the Breadwinner diamond embroidered on the front to showcase the love.

A combination of 500D Cordura fabric paired with lightweight closed-cell foam creates a structured, durable and highly weather-resistant bag that’s ready for any adventure.

And, it's made in the USA!

Breadwinner Cycles Team Member @honeyimsure is pre

Breadwinner Cycles Team Member @honeyimsure is prepping to ride the Odyssey of the Valley of the Giants (@odysseyvog), a 350 mile, mixed terrain adventure route that climbs up and over the Oregon Coast Range (several times) in a clockwise direction.

🎥 STAY TUNED for a pre-race sit-down with Stephen, coming soon! We'll ask all about how he's prepping for his ride, and how he's configuring his cockpit.

"Ever since going for the Oregon Outback FKT in 2020, I’ve had the “ultra” itch. It was transformative. The spark of energy that burns with the sun as it slowly emerges from the horizon. There’s nothing I can compare to riding through the night with purpose."

Stephen decided that a teaser taste of the route was in order, so he set out from Portland in the wee hours of the morning to put his legs and his bike to the test.

Armando Luna is a friendly face on the PDX bike event scene who loves to check out what’s happening and meet other riders.

🔶 🔸🔸 He describes himself as a low car driver who uses his bike as his main way to get around. You’ll find him regularly at PDX #coffeeoutside.

🔶 🔸🔸 There are grassroots bike events happening nearly every day in Portland, and local riders know even if they can’t make it they can probably get a glimpse of the action by checking in on Armando’s Instagram (@dudeluna).

🔶 🔸🔸Armando likes to do social rides all over town, and says he’s also getting into longer rides with @bikepocpnw. Just what is it he loves so much about bike events and group rides?

🔶 🔸🔸 “Oh it’s definitely the people!” he says. “There are so many different people. There’s a huge bike audience in Portland. From Belligerantes on their classic Schwinns, the roadie folks, racers, fixie crews, and social riders… all of those groups exist here. Every style is here. You get to know about them, learn about the people and why they ride the way they do – it’s SO fun. There’s a group ride almost every day.”
