Day 7 Biggs to Umatilla, OR 90 miles
Day 7 Bigg, to Umatilla, OR 90 miles.
Today we rode from the motel in Biggs to the very next motel on our route. Both motels are in Oregon but we did the 88 of the 90 miles in Washington. We also enjoyed the Columbia River Cruise Control–30 mph east wind– the whole trip. Even with 2400 feet of climbing it was easier than the 65 miles we did 2 days ago. Even with a long lunch in Pendelton, WA we made it in 9 hours. By the way, in the Patty Girl tradition, I tipped the waitress double when she called me honey.
We've been going to bed early, around 9:00 PM and it's kind of like someone hit you in the head with a hammer.
