Another day another mountain pass

Today's ride from Prinville to Mitchell, Oregon wasn't the longest or the greatest elevation gain in a day but it was painfully slow. There were some steep climbs but I think what really was challenging was the consistent climbing. What looked like flat terrain was really a long...long...gradual climb that has my knees screaming this morning!

I was taking it very slow today...partially because I wanted to take it easy part because the ride was tough. Which was hurting more? My knees or my rear end? Sorry I digress...
The landscape continued to be a joy to experience! Deer resting in the brush, beautiful lakes and more...

And now the reward...yeah baby!!!

As I rolled into Mitchell my knees were on fire...I knew about a local church that runs a hostel just on the edge of town. I walked in and saw Ryan. He had got there about 45 minutes earlier and was doing some work on his bike. I met Pat, the gentleman that runs the hostel and I can't say enough about the facility, the people or the hospitality shown to me. I'll be making a separate post about this incredible place later.

We walked into town for dinner and enjoyed a local music fest they are having this weekend. Gotta love small town America! Called Nick which was the perfect end to the day!
​I am staying put today (Saturday) to rest up as there are some very challenging days ahead.
