This was our "day off," so we could
bike without panniers.
Delivery bike in Bend Our first stop was the Bend Visitor Center, for maps and advice in case the Pole Creek Fire interfered with our planned route later in the week. The road from Sisters to McKenzie Pass had been closed briefly during the initial firefighting response on Sunday. We would need to take that road Thursday, or else a very long detour on a big highway, over Santiam Pass. Shevlin Park We picked Broken Top Bottle Shop because they were having a ukulele jam. . Afterward, we had to bike about 4 miles in the dark without headlights. We relied on our blinkie lights and streetlights. |
