Phew ... what a day. Rode 84 miles from Biggs, OR to Umitilla, OR. Long day through extreme heat and rather un-spectacular terrain.
Towns, or more correctly, commercial wide-spots, are far and few between. Talked with several bike tourers who were heading to the Pacific. They were all feeling the effects of the wind of the previous two-to-three days. In-as-much-as I was heading east, I did not give them the standard wish that the wind be at their back.
As I said, it was a long day ... not much to report other than the fitness level seems to be coming back ... but I am very tired.
Tomorrow will be hot also, but only 54 miles or so.
