Day 2 is history! And what a great day too! We had tailwinds and fairly flat for 40 miles - much of it along a bike path through Portland. At one point we had the river on one side and the airport on the other. It was amazing to think that just 3 days ago I was flying in to that airport.
It was warm and sunny with crystal blue skies. The last half of the ride we had a spectacular view of Mt. Hood. What a great sight to have as your companion.
The biosuit is holding up fairly well, but my left knee (the good one) is starting to talk to me. I had my bike seat height adjusted and I'm doing ice and ibuprophen tonight. Hope it works.
Tomorrow we start the day with an 11 mile climb of 2500 ft at a 3-5% grade. Pray for me! One good thing, since I'm a slow rider I get to go to breakfast first. Downside - I have to get up at 4:30 am. So, g'night all.

Another great photo! I hope the good weather holds out for you. Take care of that knee.
Love you,

Jean, it sounds like you are enjoying the scenery more. Mt. Hood is a georgeous sight, isn't it? When I lived in Portland, it was the first thing that I saw each morning.
When is your ETA in Boise? Are you staying here or just passing through?
Be strong! You are awesome!
Hey Bean Jean,
Nice Photo, it appears that you are enjoying the awsome countryside.
My knees talk to me too, so I often stand on the cranks. It seems to help when I straighten my legs. Hang in there, you and HP will do just fine.

Gorgeous picture! Baby that knee & keep on pedaling!
Go Jean! Take care of your knee and be safe! We're all cheering for you!
Hi Aunt Jean,
I hope you have a good time at breakfast.
I hope you go 100 miles, and I hope you see coyotes and wolves.
Love,
Franklin
It's day 4 and no updates...hope all is well! Sending you good energy all the live long day.
Love,

Don't put up with any sass from that knee! Take care of it and it will be quite. :-)
Hi Jean,
No updates since June 17! Either you don't have internet access or you're too pooped. We hope you're still enjoying the challenge.
Love,
Ann, George & Franklin
