Completion of Powers to Riddle ride

67 miles. So I told you the ladies from the Powers bike ride told us there were only 3 miles of bad Hills. What they should have said was the first 20 miles from our campsite was going to be very difficult. We did not complete 30 miles until five hours of riding.  Luckily there was hardly any traffic. We got up before daylight and started riding at 7:15. It was very scenic but very remote. We really were not sure if we were going to be successful. We finally flagged a pick up and asked the driver about the route. He told us we were very close to a long downhill so that helped our spirits. We made it to riddle by about 3:30 and stopped at the first cafĂ© we saw. We are staying in a nice hotel in Canyonville which is about 5 miles from Riddle. We will stay here for two nights for a rest day.

Certainly sounds like you're having a lot of "adventures." And of course you've "earned" your rest days. Enjoy--and thanks for your faithful updates:)
