Hey gang, A group of 9 met at my place in The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon for a country ramble. The weather was a bit drizzly to begin with, but luckily only threatened to rain and we had a dry, though overcast ride. Temps were nice in the mid fifties. The pack of nine endured a 50-mile loop to the south and east of The Dalles with the majority of roads being gravel and seemingly uphill; a few climbs had grades in the double digits. The terrain in this part of OR is very hilly so each steep climb was paired with an equally steep descent.
Highlights included: - a pre-lunch lunch stop across from an abandoned school house which is said to have been built in 1904 and next to an old cemetery with gravestones with dates from the first half of the 1800's - a lunch stop in the rural town of Dufur where Zach treated us with fancy and tasty hot coffee - miles and miles of nearly car-less gravel roads surrounded by picturesque farms and wheat fields - a post ride meal at the local taco truck in downtown The Dalles Lots of pics are sure to follow.
