Sierra Cascades – 8/26/2013 - Sun River Resort to Lake Odell

 

This blog was posted a day late because we did not have wi-fi in our cabin at Lake Odell.

First photo today was just a few miles out of town.  I believe it was the Little Deschutes River.

 

 

 

Except for the last 5 miles, we had very quiet roads today; very little traffic.  And, for the most part, the road surface was good.  We did have a head wind, maybe 20 mph for most of the day.  HERE IS THE ROUTE.

At about mile 30, Brenda had a flat in her rear tire.  I found a thorn imbedded in the tire but could not get it out. So I installed a boot and we were re on our way.

At about mile 37 we encountered chip-seal. The combination of chip-seal and a headwind made me wonder: Are we already in Texas?

Photos below are of the Lake Odell.

 

Miles today = 56, Elevation gain = 1,870. Total miles = 525, Tot Elevation gain = 30,261
