Somebody forgot to turn off the AC here in Oregon.
After the kick-ass climb out of Mitchell, which I thought would never end, came the sleet and snowstorm. Temps dropped to the low 30s and the snow was blowing sideways with high winds. It was brutal. It rained on and off the whole time, so I didn’t bother taking off the parka.
Stayed on the “Journey Through Time” Scenic Byway the whole time, and it was stunning. Really need a bike shop or a bike mechanic to take a look at the bike. Decided to stop at John Day, Oregon, to get hold of one, but it looks like I’ll have to MacGyver it with stuff from the hardware store.
Temps in the mid-teens and raining now. Glad I didn’t push to the next town. Kept the miles short, hoping to find a mechanic. Hope I can get the bike fixed, but either way, Ontario, Oregon, bound tomorrow.
Thanks for your continued support. I really appreciate you all.
