ok, so my guys rode about 80 miles yesterday, along the mckenzie river. they phoned last night from a phone booth in front of their 'log cabin', part of a rustic 'motel'.....you used to see those places, with clusters of tiny cabins that didn't look big enough to have bathrooms.....i forgot to ask if my assumption was correct.......today they ride over mckenzie pass, their first big climb.......they have to take an alternative route that is longer but with a gentler rise is elevation....as their original choice is snowed in.......they seem in good spirits.........scw was most concerned that i remember to water his bonzai...............
