Ok well I made it to blue river after two rides of 75 and 78 miles in two days. Yesterday was seriously hot and I have the sun burn to prove it! Today was cold with heavy rain all day and a headwind as I rode along the McKenzie river. Last night I camped by the roadside at a pic Nov rest site and cooked Chile beef with pasta and slept like a baby. Tonight I am in a river lodge to dry out warm up rest up ready for a serious climb to 5000ft through McKenzie pass. I may stop two nights as the weather on the mountain has shut down with rain fog and the guy I'm the lodge said snow as well. I had some bad back pain on the ride today but it has gone now. The people here are nice and the houses along the river are my idea of home. Yesterday I spent 9 bucks on food and Gatorade today I spent 50 bucks for the lodge to get out of this dam rain!
