Wed. 10th July.

Mitchell to Redmond  70 miles.
  A  five A.M. rise again, and then a descent down into the bottom of a canyon. Then a rise to 4,720 ft. over the Ochoco Pass. The tops are forested which is great. Then it was down to Primeville and breakfast with a rogues gallery of other cyclists, whom I have been meeting during the trip.

Nat from Idaho.

Phil from Melbourne Australia

Ruffie (B0b) from Yorkshire


Bobbie and Thaine from the U.S.A.


It was then on to the library for a Skype session, before a very hot cycle ride on to Redmond, where Phil. had kindly arranged for us to stay with Jeannie and Bill. Jeannie is retired, and a keen marathon runner. I was shattered and Jeannie was I think very amused to watch Phil cooking tea. He made a good job of pasta, and the three of us ate together. Bill arrive home about 8.30 P.M., he had been to a car boot sale and brought a potato shooter. Jeannie was not impressed, I sympathised with her - some men just never grow up! Another great couple. Thank you.
