Wednesday, July 21st, Day 76
Sisters to Blue River, Oregon

Our last mountain pass is today. And this is our next to last day on the ride. Imagine that.
Our objective is Santiam Pass at an elevation of 4,800 feet. Our hope today is to enjoy as much as possible of the ride we are embarking on. Let me tell you, it was totally enjoyable.
The climb to Santiam Pass was 21 miles that we both jumped on with eager anticipation. When we hit the summit, I think the two of us were relieved. This was the last pass, the last mountain climb, the last cold morning, the last of everything on this ride that started over 4,000 miles ago and also two months ago.
We are headed to Eugene and we both feel it’s all-downhill from here.
It’s hard to relate how powerful we feel.
More after we get to Eugene.
