Another day and another climb or two. The weather is hot like always and the winds still build during the day. We did see a few cyclists heading east on this day. We stopped in New Meadows for much needed liquid and solid food nourishment. There was another stop in Council for more food but we wanted to make it to Cambridge to give us a chance to make it to Baker City the next day.
We got into Cambridge around 6 and checked out possibly sleeping location and decided to sleep at the City Water Park, which is was directly beneath town’s water tower. It was a peaceful night of sleep on picnic tables and in a pavilion. Unfortunately, they city kept the lights on all night in the pavilion.
Today’s stats: total mileage 83.2 miles, average speed 12.1 mph, elevation gain 3445 feet, elevation descent 2546 feet, maximum speed 31.2 mph.
