Today’s 108 mile ride through Northeast Wyoming was about as boring as it gets so no good pics. Hope to get some good pictures of Devil’s Tower Wednesday.
Today was an eventful day with two flat tires, one broken chain and one wrong turn that added 3 miles to the ride but saying “Hey, I rode my bike 102 miles today” sounds way cooler than “Hey, I only rode my bike 99 miles today” Lewiston, ID. A bunch of canoes welded together to look like an ocean wave....this art has been done to death huh. For the geeks Headed to Kooskia, ID tomorrow. The only bad thing is that we’ll be rolling in during rush hour. Send Neosporin
For the number geeks.......you know who you are (what it doesn’t show is the 8,100 feet of climbing). One of the 2 Trek support vans on the Washington side of the Columbia headed towards our night in exotic Condon, OR. They stop every 20 miles or so so we can refill our water bottles and eat. Riding along in 95 degree heat today 300 miles into a 3,800 mile trip I remembered what Mom told Heather when she said I was riding across country....Mom said “I should bake him some cookies”......yeah Mom, that’ll do it. Out
When I hit my top speed of 45.8 mph one of the guides went by at 56.....idiot. As I coasted in to Lexington, OR I saw a large white building on the hill that had put one 4’ tall letter in each of a row of windows that spelled out HE IS RISEN. I don’t know who HE is but that’s just bad grammar. Sorry no pictures today, the wheat harvest is over so they would just be pictures of dirt. Out
