Day 44 & 45: Oregon
Day 44: Prineville to Warm Springs
Miles on the road: 43
Route: Hwy 26
Terrain: hilly
Weather: 80’s and mostly sunny
Wind: stiff headwind
Songs stuck in my head: “Where corn don’t grow” –Travis Tritt
“Dead or Alive” –Bon Jovi
Road Kill: two dead cows
State with the least amount of road kill: Oregon
What would really hit the spot right now: an Orange Mocha Frapachino
WHAT'S THE DEAL.....
So I rode up to Warm Springs from Prineville. Then, Dad, Mom, and I drove down to Bend,Or to hang out because we heard it was a happening place. And that's where we are staying tonight. Bend is pretty cool, actually, but to be totally honest it's hard to rest when you're just a few days away from the Pacific and you haven't slept in your own bed in almost two months. I'm itchin' to get back on the road.
THIS WEEK’S SUPER TUESDAY CONTEST…….
Vote for one or both of the following….
#1 I don't know about y'all, but one of the highlights each day of the ride has been seeing who my fellow co-worker at PDS, Paul White, (aka "Slappy") would compare my long, thick beard to each day. So, the question is....Which Slappy “beard quote” do you think is the best. (see list below)
And also,
#2 What do you think that I should do with my bicycle when the Hunger Ride is over?
The most creative idea wins.
