Lauren and I are out on the Race Across Oregon course getting a good look at what is in store for us in July. No biking today but hope to get her out and ride part of the course tomorrow.
It's been a good trip, a very good experience for our team.
We covered about half the course today, will get an early start and finish the reconnaissance tomorrow. The weather was nice today, hazy sun, up to 64 degrees.
On today's look we were astounded to find virtually no level ground. The route was either climbing or descending. The GPS recorded 26,567 but that included a detour we had to take to get around the snow on Forest Road 48 and then back tracking UP towards Hwy 35. I'm guessing we probably added about 3000-4000 ft of climbing that we won't be biking.
As we were leaving Condon we noted that Lauren is famous here even before astounding the locals with her biking prowess. Seems they've named a street in her honor in anticipation of her stellar accomplishment.
We had lunch in Heppner.
We went off course to Pendelton for an evening night cap.
