Day 8. 0 miles. Rain rain go away.
I woke up to el crappo weather, and Karen and Steve were gracious enough to offer a second night. I needed no convincing, I was exhausted and didn't want to ride in the rain.
We spent most of the day in Bend. I picked up a Goal Zero solar charger on the cheap; can't wait for sunshine to use it! I Texted Wags letting her know I'd be in Bend (her old stomping grounds) and she recommended McMinamins for beer and food; what a damn good choice. Ruby beer and a hemp burger, and blueberry lemon cobbler. Ahh calories. I'll need those over the next few days with 3 consecutive passes into Baker City.
I'm pooped from this rest day, I need to lay down.
"Ruby beer and a hemp burger, and blueberry lemon cobbler"??? Wow, now, THAT is a combination.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the weather! Until now, it seems as if you've been lucky with weather, so this is probably a temporary glitch.
I look forward to your next blog posting!
Storm,
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to a journal that's a couple days ahead of you.

Thanks Will! He's only a half a day ahead, saw him in Mitchell the other night. My blog isn't current to where I am.
DeleteI've been looking at your pictures on slideshow. Oregon is SO gorgeous. It reminds me of the Adirondacks in NY State, but BIGGER. I remember crawdadding in a river in Oregon years back. The pictures of a river reminded me of that.
ReplyDeleteEat heartily and drink beer when you can! Carb loading!
Love reading your entries!
