Gentle escort out of Hermiston with a lovely tailwind and the sweet melody of Brazilian music complements of Carol, my ride along today. Check out her music at the end of my playlist.
It was a day we needed to have. A short 70 with rolling hills and cloud cover to keep us cool. Lovely. Everyone was in a good mood u til we turned north and that tailwind was now a cross wind with gusts to 50mph on a highway with passing semis. Almost walked down those 4 miles…
To start after an ascent to cattle and onion fields, We had a beautiful ride through a little canyon with small farms on one side. The air was perfumed with sage! As it was warming up we had the sudden appearance of these snakes stretched out from the right side along the pavement. I did not witness a bike versus snake event but did see some very close calls!
Then we left Oregon and arrived to our second state, Washington!!
