GT06 – Keno

On the way to Sacremto Flat Track Races, burned up the back tire on new chip seal on 97. One guy with a new tire showed significant scrubbing.
As hot as I thought it had been in the NW the ride from Redding (great HD Dealer who had a tire on the next morning) the 100-106 for hours through the Central Valley was awful. Lots of stops to rehydrate, soak our vests, and seek shade.

GT12 – Lake Chelan

Took a couple friends over the Cascade HWY and then came back via Chelan and Leavenworth. Ended up being much hotter than expected. This location wasn’t the best, almost got hit by a guy impatient to get his boat into the campground.

GT09 – Bickleton

The sign was washed out from the sun angle. Had a great piece of pie across the street, fresh from the oven. (Well as close as the car drive to the store.)
First time I’ve ridden this going west, for some reason we ride this out from Portland. Didn’t get the deer wandering around in the picture.

GT16 – Steptoe

Rain and hail from Lewiston/Moscow (rode the old highway twice). Was a nice break from the heat the prior days at the Pendleton Bike Week.
I’d been by here bunches of time but never stopped – most vivid memory was hawks and one seagull soaring on the uplift wind on the west side of the road up.
Had the place to myself!

GT21 – Moscow

Had an interesting chat with the local PD, he was giving someone a ticket and they pulled off into the Cemetery to get off the road. Didn’t know I was going to have weather challenges ahead!
