Day 14 Friday June 19: A Good News/Bad News Day

New Meadows to Whitebird Idaho 67 miles

Good News: the ride was downhill all the way.
Bad News: it was pouring rain and we had a head wind. We took to changing positions every 10 minutes to share the pulling. (yes we were pulling downhill!
Bad News: We arrived in Whitebird (pop150) to find it was Whitebird Rodeo Days so there were no motel rooms.
Good News: it stopped raining, we got a spot at an RV/rafting park,we had a good salmon dinner in town and listened to a great country band out on the street. ( Frank had a Bitch Creek Amber which he says is excellent)

PS Barb has put some pictures on the part of the Oregon blog that they did with us

  2. There's nothing worse than a headwind downhill - it just doesn't seem fair! It looks like you guys are heading north! Have you forgotten that you are going to Virginia? I have nothing but admiration for both of you - keep on peddling.
