Our show in Portland was great fun. datri bean played with us again and we ate some good food to heal our sick heads. tonight we did our best to sing through our hoarse voices in Eugene. abby's sister, Genevieve sang Harvest Moon with us and danced with some lovely girls in the front row.

To Portland
we had a group ride out of Seattle en route to Portland. We rode 103 miles to Centralia.
along the way we picked wild blackberries. the air was crisp and the forrests were spooky, autumny, and beautiful.
last night we went to Thai Food. Boo had the HOTTEST dish of the whole tour, just how she likes it.
One rider, Giovanni, rode all the way to Portland with us. today's ride was 104 miles. it was REALLY tough for us. Abby caught Amanda's cold and both our knees were hurting. On the bright side, the weather was nice and we got to see the World's Biggest Egg
and logs on a boat trip to who knows where.

Music and Grub
While in NY, we've been dining out and seeing lots of shows.
here's abby with our friends Nerissa and Brad and cupcakes.
Brad's music is awesome! click here to listen.
Our friend Rick took us to see Les Paul perform at an old jazz club near Times Square. Les was quite humorous and he and the band were great. during the set they had some guest performers up and after the last guest, they asked if there was anyone they missed. Rick yelled out that we sing Les's song "Smoke Rings" and Les asked if we were any good. They let us on stage and we got to perform with Les. it was quite a thrill. afterwards, he brought us backstage and we got to hear stories about old LA and how he came to write "Smoke Rings"
right after that we went straight to the Rodeo Bar to see one of our favorite bands "The Moonlighters" play for the first time.
they do lots of 20's tunes and sing amazing intricate harmonies.
we ran into Chris Thile from Nickel Creek and got to see him play a show. he's such an incredible and energetic performer.
lots of beauty to be found at the union square farmer's market
even a political circus
tomorrow we're off to Seattle to get back on our bikes.

4,502.75 miles and we're here.
WE MADE IT! We're in NY. it was our longest riding day ever!
the day after our show in Philadelphia
we peddled for over 9 hours to NY. it was a 100 mile ride, 60 miles of which were in the rain.
but we wanted so bad to get to NY for dinner...and we did.
the next day we played our show at the Spiegeltent. the theme was Cops and Robbers.
since then, we've been hanging with our friends
and doing a food tour of NYC. yesterday, we ate at 7 restaurants!
the paparazzi finally caught up with us outside of Cones.
and of course Klum was there too, stealing the limelight.
we've got a week of rest before we gotta get our butts back to the west coast and on our bikes. Seattle here we come.
