Good evening all bloggers, thanks for all the comments and for viewing, it means alot to us and keeps us in touch. This was a great day on the bike, if you really, really, love to ride a bike. I guess we do. Woke up with a sore ass, but better. I know I have all the women thinking of my butt, can't argue with that. We left the resort at 7:30, rode to breakfast in Vida, Oregon. Left there at 9, climbed 4000 feet in 72 miles, had a stiff wind on top of the pass and made it to a place called Sutter Lake Resort at 6:30. I've got sunburned hands, and some crotch issues(a little butt butter took care of that), but we both really enjoyed the challenge. Had a big dinner by the lake tonight and we're staying in a cabin with no shower. Shower's in the bath house. On the pass and below it we were down to 3mph at times, but the big O kept rolling. Lisa H., hope you're home by now and jumping rope. Tomorrow we want to go to Prineville, about 50 miles I think. For Judy, it's on highway 126 east of Redmond. Chris, Tammy, Lisa, Letti, Dora, Tim, JJ, Tom, and everyone else following us, a hot shower is worth alot, but all of you friends are priceless! I might try the ipod tomorrow but I'm still a little leery about not hearing a huge logging truck coming up behind. We're big enough, a collision might hurt him more than us.
Hi all, stoker here. Well it was a haul up the pass but we made it! This place is really nice, not quite as gorgeous as last night but close. I was so happy to get here!!! Larry is doing great on the bike, I guess steering when you are doing 4 mph is a little rough. The shoulder again today was very narrow in most spots, mostly because of the leftover gravel from winter road treatment. thankfully?!!? there were lots of passing lanes for the cars so we had a little extra room then. The weather has been wonderful-it was a CO sky today and really not much wind till the end.
Lisa , I hope you are doing OK-you and I will be out there again before you know it. I'm thinking of you every day....My hip is really not that bad, good today actually,I guess it likes hills! I had a martini at dinner tonight so you know that helps! (tequila would help too Letti)
Congrats to you Camille-thanks for saying hello!
Carrie-I feel so great knowing you are there with my Helen and I'm glad the kids are settling in. I hope we get to see them.
Hey Cruiser Doc! talk to you all tomorrow.

Hey guys! Glad to see your post tonight - this is fun, I think we all look forward to reading about your daily adventures on the big "O"! Mucho better today, all due to lots of good care on the trail! Mastering crutches is going to give me awesome arms for summer! Checked your weather and looks like there will be record highs tomorrow.
Happy pedaling!

See, now you are getting places that I want to be!

Larry and Laura, Have you talked to Colls about Boise? Carl now has your blogsite and is really interested. I'm going to GJT to see "Bonecrusher" tonight. Take care your magnificent buttoxes.

I LOVE your posts! It so fun to read about your adventure, but two things are a must:
1. I am dying for pictures of all the beautiful things you guys are seeing! You must post pictures soon. I am staring at horribly ugly cube walls all day and I need to live vicariously through SOMEONE!
2. Prices! I bet you anything this summer will be cheaper for you to ride your bike across country than drive! :)
Larry, Laura - Very cool to hear about your travels...I only wish Jill & I were on the Ragbrai this year to high-five ya. Hopefully, next year. Meanwhile, stay safe and enjoy it -- I'm sure I'll be in touch, your blog is addicting. (Just found it today, Thanks to Doug!) Miss you guys...
Jack-Bob (and my better half, Jill)

Hey you DLO'S---Jealous of your awesome adventure, wish I was there with you but your blog almost makes the ride come to life. Keep up the happy adventure and be safe out there. Try the right ear only for the bud for your ipod it allows you to pickup the traffic sounds along the way. Will keep following your adventure. Fun Fun Fun , DLO RANDY
