Overlook after Keyes Cr Pass -
still some Mountains to climb.... |
Another 3 days to go from now until I get to dip my bike into the Pacific...the weather forecast however, doesn't look good for Tues and Wed - but, let's wait and see....
Today I enjoyed another gorgeous ride into the Cascades via the John Day National Monument, then I turned left, 25mi up towards Keyes Cr (4'369ft) into Mitchell.
This morning I took off at 7.45AM and it turned out to be another wonderful and warm day. The first 32mi towards Dayville were just a blast. It took me only 1hrs45min to get there with a slight downhill all the way and the help of a nice tale wind with 4-6mph. I stopped at the gas station in Dayville for breakfast and a Cappuccino - the best coffee I have had since I left McLean 6 weeks ago.

| John Day Fossil Beds |
 |
| Drive into the National Monument |
I then turned in into a magnificent scenery overlooking at the John Day Fossil Beds and then riding through a picturesque moment of time.
 |
| Climb towards Hayes Creek |
I did not visit the national monument as it was almost noon and I knew that the 25mi climb up to Keyes Creek Pass was going to be a though ride and that it won't have any shade at all.

I am staying tonight at the Oregon Hotel in Mitchell. The historic Oregon Hotel was first built in the late 1800's. It was burnt down twice since and the third and present building was constructed in 1938. With 11 suites, one hostel and 2 kitchenettes the oregon Hotel is able to accommodate everyone by providing a resting place with style and comfort at a good place.
