At 140km it has been the longest day coupled with some decent climbing. But the showers were hot (for most of us), the steak tender and the wine more than drinkable. Tomorrow is another day.
An overall rating of 6 out of 10.
A short 20km ride along the Snake River before crossing a bridge brought an end to a great time in Oregon. They may be legalising the sale of marihuana in July but there is nothing dopey about this state. A great time had by all and finished off with an excellent breakfast at the Hells Canyon B&B – thanks Julie. Welcome to Idaho – 21km, 800m vertical climb virtually as we entered the state followed by torrential rain about 2 hours from the end of the 140km day was not a great introduction. And they stole an hour from us as the clocks moved forward!! This was a hard ride with a number of hills in addition to the “hello hill”. At 140km it has been the longest day coupled with some decent climbing. But the showers were hot (for most of us), the steak tender and the wine more than drinkable. Tomorrow is another day. An overall rating of 6 out of 10.

I'd like to know if anyone got off and walked up this hill!

No, we all just powered up, some not so fast as others!
