* July 3 -5 - Steens Mountain Adventure
My plan was to ride the 76 mile Steens Mountain Loop in four sections over a period of 3 1/2 days. I completed 2 1/2 sections, but the continuous uphill on the second section, and the high heat on the three full days took it's toll...not to mention I'm getting old, fat, and out of shape.
It was a fun undertaking though. Silo drove along as my SAG wagon, I learned a few things about gravel riding, we camped in the cool Page Campground near Frenchglen, and it's ALWAYS a good time on Steens Mountain.
I want to go back in the Fall to finish the sections I skipped...maybe with a new gravel bike, and hike a few places that grabbed my attention.
