Day 4 June 23
Today we biked from Kah-nee-ta to Prineville, OR a 60 mile ride. We started in the desert and had to climb out so we started with a 4 mile climb. We were rewarded with a straight downhill with my speed over 39 mph on descent. We ended up in the eastern agriculture region of Oregon after a long steady climb on some not so great roads. The views were amazing as we rode. Mountains on one side and alfalfa fields on the other. The fields were all being irrigated. The weather cooperated today. Bright and sunny with temps in the low 40's to start and warming up to the low 70's. There was a strong breeze which was mostly at our backs. Tomorrow we ride 120 miles. Much better day for me personally. No flats and a good energy level. I have to remember to keep the fluids and food constantly going.

Wish I was alongside taking some pictures, but don't think you would appreciate the extra weight. Stay safe ....
