    Who turned on the hair dryer? - Bike Nonstop US Part 1: Oregon

    This is the first post of several parts summarizing my experience with Bike Nonstop US, a 3,500 mile, mixed terrain race across the United States. Unlike my daily journal of last year's tour, Bike Nonstop summaries will be separated by region, with Oregon deserving of its own post with how eventful it was. For more …

    Biking to Oregon: Day 23 - Full Send to the Finish

    An old friend, Aden, who lived in Bend was planning to ride with me today. We agreed to meet in the morning, but later than I was used to leaving, which meant I could sleep in. I had what felt like a lazy morning, but it was nice to catch up on sleep and have a homemade breakfast. I noticed my rear tire was a little …

    Biking to Oregon: Day 22 - Welcome to Central Oregon

    It was a hot night. No need for a sleeping bag. I woke up and prepared for another hot day. I left the church around 5:30am and stopped by the cafe to drop off the growler. Today was going to be a longer one, since my goal was to stay with my aunt and uncle in Redmond. There were two mountain passes in the way. The …

    Biking to Oregon: Day 21 - A Night in the Church

    Another hot day in the forecast for today. I rejoined my route and, similar to yesterday, started going up another big climb towards Tipton Summit. Although the remaining days of my trip would involve big mountain passes, it was feeling much easier having lower traffic, prettier views, and less wind compared to earlier …

    Biking to Oregon: Day 20 - Hilly and Hot

    I started the day with a decent climb out of Halfway, towards Richland. The climb wasn’t as steep as the ones in Idaho, being on a state highway, but it was long enough for me to be happy that I didn’t go on any longer the day before. It was supposed to be another hot day, so I had another early start. I stopped in a …

    Biking to Oregon: Day 19 - Welcome to Oregon

    I woke up at my usual early time again, but I was in mountain time since crossing into Riggins yesterday. This meant I was up extra early, leaving my hotel room with no daylight. I went back to the gas station and bought two breakfast sandwiches and ate them at the table outside, watching everyone get fuel and coffee …

    Biking to Oregon: Day 18 - Idaho Brought the Hills

    I was looking forward to today’s ride while planning my day last night. A lot of the roads were off of the main highway and looked like they were designed by a 5 year-old who liked to scribble a lot. The waitress at the bar last night had coincidentally suggested the road I would take out of Stites. I thanked her, …
