| Bend to Prineville 42 miles Ravn |
Started out not so good. Chain jammed on the first pedal stroke. It actually bent a link. It was skipping and chattering all day. About 10 miles from the finish I got SAG driver John VS to drive me to the bike shop in Prineville. They removed the bad link. Seems fine now. |
| Prineville to Cove Palisades 42 miles Ravn |
Still cold in the morning but warmed up once we got to camp. |
| Cove Palisades to Sisters 52 miles Ravn |
Finally a warm sunny day. |

Getting hot. Solo ride on some nice gravel roads. |
