Day 11: July 16, 2024 - Eugene, OR, to Rainbow, OR
End: Rainbow, OR
Miles: 52.0
Feet climbing per mile: 38
Record of the day's ride: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/202705569
I was up at 6:00 and on the road at 6:30 when the temperature was 60. This was my first day using daily contact lenses. They felt great, meaning I couldn't feel them. Thank you, Velo Mina, for suggesting dailies!
I noticed that it was easier to turn my head to the left, although intermittent tingling in my left arm continued. Thank you, Colin, for the lesson.
I spent almost the entire ride on highway 126 which has a good shoulder. The entire ride was one long, gradual climb, just 28 feet per mile.
Oregon is beautiful!
I can’t resist an opportunity to take off my shoes and socks and put my feet in the water.
I wonder what mountain that is in the distance.
I arrived at Harbick’s Country Inn at 12:15 with a reservation. The temperature was now 90.
I walked across the street and had dinner at Takoda’s. The sky was beautiful as I walked back to Harbick’s.
Before going to bed at 10:00 in order to get up at 5:00 I had learned that McKenzie Pass was open. I looked forward to making that epic climb.
