Today was a shorter ride than yesterday, but more than twice as much climbing. There were several long climbs approaching 6% and one section of 10%. I had a mix of small roads, bike trails and even a five mile stretch of I-84.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My route brought me from an area too dry to have many trees to a much wetter area. There are steep hillsides along the gorge with a railroad on each side, interstate on this side, WA-14 on the other side. There are sections of “historic US 30”, some as road and some as trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving The Dalles without many trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The first climb was nearly 600ft and wound back and forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back the way I came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those specks are boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large tourist boat on the gorge. I later saw in Cascade Locks where this started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosier was the first small town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twin tunnel. These were the original road but now restored as a bike path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now on to the interstate for a few miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of the trail. There were more people out on the trail for a ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afternoon trail riding <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This last road was steep. I walked up part of it. I was passed by a number of bicycles, perhaps two thirds were e-bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cascade Locks at last. Looks like a touristy town. Motel doesn’t have check in until 4pm, so post this early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am now within a day cycling from Portland. It looks like the next few days will have a mix of showers and rain. Hopefully not too wet tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n
