44.21 Miles and 1,377 feet of elevation gain. We averaged 10.1 mph.
What those stats don't tell you is we had about a 2 mile hill that averaged 8% grade. It was a trek. Dad did it and put mustard on that hill. What a champ. His determination is incredible....and very humbling.
When we left Till, it was cloudy and cool. We had a little rain about 30 minutes in but nothing to terrible. It was cool enough today that I wore pants and a jacket all day. The route was fairly flat except for Cascade Head, the 2 mile hill.
We are staying with a friend of a friend who went to College with Bernie and Sophie's daughter. This amazing couple, who doesn't know us, opened their home to us and fed us an amazing dinner. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, Sophie made homemade chicken enchiladas and a seven layer bean deep. Yes, we cleaned it all up. We are having a great evening just relaxing their living room, watching baseball and sharing stories. Good Times.
I don't have a lot to say tonight other than it was a good day.
A few pics of what I saw today include: the below re-enactment of Chicken Fight
Our happy finish at D River - the worlds shortest river.
And finally, a beautiful Oregon sunset.
