We got a great early start this morning to ride through some really gorgeous country. Checked in with the well-traveled owners of the cafe in beiber, had lunch at the coolest old-time general store i’ve ever seen in Aiden, went over two passes, one of which was really nice – saw the first bald eagle of the trip. Unfortunately, megan’s shifter busted. Luckily it’s flat for the next few days, so marcus is gonna cannibalize the shifter from trigger and overnight it to us. In the meantime, we’re staying at a really cool bunk house motel here in canby. The folks here have been really nice helping us out. Okay – time for dinner and beer!

An update from megan
This didn’t in through yesterday, so I’ll re send. Well, It’s the end of the line for my front shifter. It’s decimated. I guess that’s what 4000 miles does to soras. But, in a stroke of genius, we realized that friends in oak land can rip that part off greg’s old bike and overnight it to us. So, thank you us postal service. And for that matter, marcus and skye. Thank you! The folks in canby took pity on us and are putting us up in the only hotel in town for 20 bucks! And don’t worry, It’s a super nice place. For getting stuck some where, canby is lovely. There are eagles and It’ll be a pretty flat ride into lakeview tomorrow. Good thing we don’t have a schedule! Bike bums ride on! After going to the post office, anyhow.
