It did rain again today and I again had problems with my bike computer. Still trying to sort that out, but bought a cheap backup to help me navigate the the backroads of Oregon. We began our climb off the coastal plain today and would have had great views of Mount Hood, had they not been obscured by clouds and rain. I guess I will have to come back again. Stopped for lunch at a roadhouse near Sandy OR call Calamity Janes, the place is decorated with dollar bills and foreign currency stapled to the rafters and ceiling. I rolled into the Hotel, (a rather expensive looking one called "The Resort at the Mountain"), at about 1:00 pm. Both me and the bike needed cleaning, the bike was first in line, since our luggage was delayed because one of our riders Mike, took a tumble and required an Emergency Room visit. The luggage truck accompanied him to the ER, and as soon as he was discharged, rushed him to a bike shop where he purchased a new bike and helmet. He looks like he will be ready to go in the morning. We had dinner at Zig Zag Inn in Welches OR, I had the largest Chicken Parmesan I have ever seen. Picture an eight inch circle, with a pile of spaghetti on the side, topped off with a couple pieces of Garlic Toast. Had my protein covered for the next couple days.
