We left Kah-Nee-Tah Lodge after a hearty breakfast at 7:30. Today was a light day of just 60 miles, with the big test of 117mi on Friday. We all slept in, or at least tried. It has me anxious that I will have enough time to complete tomorrows distance with over 5000 ft of climbing thrown in to frustrate. It gave me a lot to think about as I rode alone today. Had I trained enough? Was I crazy to think I could do it? I guess we all will find out. We passed Mount Jefferson and "The Three Sisters" (I guess thats Linda, Peggy and Pennie). We also climbed over another ridge into another climate zone, with massive irrigated farms growing hay and alfalfa. I stopped at Dairy Queen as I pulled into Prineville OR (population 9000 or so) for a cone. (the first of many on this trip). I arranged for Garmin to send me a replacement bike computer at our hotel in Boise, the location of our first rest day on Tuesday. That will eliminate that constant problem from my busy life on the road.
