Tuesday, July 20, Day 75
Ochoco Divide to Sisters, Oregon (77 miles)

Today, in essence, was two days. The first three hours, then the rest of the day.
We woke up to 38-degree temps on top of Ochoco Pass. A breakfast from our bike pack certainly wasn’t what would help warm our chilled bodies. We started a 20 mile downhill that resulted in our stopping many times on the way down to warm our hands and faces that were being pelted by the frigid air. It was oh so cold.
In less than two hours, we were 30 miles down the road arriving in Primeville for a very welcome second breakfast. While there, we changed into our shorts and shirts from the warmer clothing that we needed on the road down. The temperatures were rising rapidly into the high eighties and low nineties. We Passed through Redmond and onto Sisters. We are staying in Sisters City Park tonight. A nice hot shower is the order of the day, however, the showers are not functioning at the moment. They’ll be ready tomorrow afternoon while we are on our way to Blue River. Bike Ted.
