Baker City to Richland<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following 2 hard days in the saddle we needed a lighter load today to ensure we didn\u2019t burn out so early in the trip<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 70km and more descent than climb was the ride for today. Of course it did start with a little climb \ud83d\udeb5\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because we basically only had a half day ride ahead we took a leisurely breakfast waiting for the bike shop to open<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We needed the bike shop for several reasons: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1: Rich needed new tyres, not because they were worn out but because they had punctured 3 times in 4 days. He was running tubeless with sealant but the sealant let him down in the rain after 100km yesterday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2: My helmet was broken. The adjuster at the back had given up, probably from sweat and sunshine. I think it was about 6 years old so it had done its job<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3: Stef needed new pedals. His left pedal was creaking and we didn\u2019t want to end up with it failing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trailhead bike shop was great and had very reasonable prices <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was about 11:00 when we set off via the supermarket to stock up on provisions <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We crossed the Oregon Trail near the top of our climb <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before cruising down to Powder River for a late lunch. And on into Richland and our motel <\/p>\n\n\n\n
