Climb: 1916 ft
Tim and Nancy from Tacoma, were kind enough to invite us on another of their planned trips. I am quite spoiled when it comes to riding with them. They do all the planning and I just get to come along and enjoy the ride. I am able to ride this with my son-in-law Stephen Taylor. I am so excited to have the opportunity to spend the time with him and have him get a little better taste of cycle touring.
Yesterday we all met in La Grande, Oregon. Carey and I drove up from Burley and Stephen drove down from Pullman and then we had dinner together with Tim and Nancy. Carey left this morning to go spend the week with Morgan while Stephen and I do the ride.
Today we rode from La Grande to Baker City. It was a beautiful ride of green hills and a lot of grass. I think they have had an extraordinary amount of moisture this year and it shows in the green of everything. The wind was very strong with 22 mph winds with stronger gusts and the temperature was in the low 60s all day. I do think the wind helped us more than hurt us, but it was still quite annoying. I do have a few pictures, but nothing was too out of the ordinary. I should have taken more.
We are staying at a bike hostel in Baker City. We are just camping, however and not staying in the hostel itself.
One of the CArnagie libraries. This was built in 1912 in Union Oregon.
Our camp for the night.
