Bicycling to the Lewis & Clark Reunion Weekend
June - 2012
Friday - June 15, 2012
Hermiston to Boardman, OR
Distance Traveled: 27.8 miles
Distance Climbed: 421 Feet
We left Hermiston around 8:00 AM. Today we loaded on a "Bob" trailer much quicker and after shipping clothing to our son Mark; the "Bob" trailer was much lighter. Today Jim had no trouble with my bicycle with the lighter trailer.
Today's ride was very flat and as a result we traveled much faster than we did yesterday. We reached Boardman in just over 2 1/2 hours. We started toward a motel on the river and realized that we would be riding an extra mile or more the next day if we went to this motel. Therefore we reversed direction and are staying at a motel right next to the Interstate highway entrance. Tomorrow we ride 60 miles all on the freeway.
After reaching the motel we did our laundry, ate a lunch and then rested for tomorrow. All in all we are doing great and having a good time.
