Cycle Oregon Day 4 - Rest Day!

Rest day.....meaning you could opt for an 80 mile ride (out and back) or turn around at any point and set the ride to the distance you wanted....or you could hang out at camp all day!

We opted for a modified route heading out the "planned" path about 4-5 miles and then doubling back past the turn off for our city / camp.

Motivational signs found along the route!

Mandatory photo op!

The turn off to camp.

The reason for bypassing the turn off was a tiny little hotel / bed and breakfast called the Diamond Motel was hosting a BBQ lunch (that ended up running from 10am to 8 pm).  The line for food never ceased the entire 10 hours!

Bacon wrapped Corn on the Cob....say no more!

The Cowboy Chefs in action

After food and beer....this was the plan for the day!

It's a little hard to read...but the population in Diamond is normally 5, yep....5.  They probably served about 1500 people at the BBQ.

Our "route" gave us about 22 miles today.  However, there were alternate means of transportation between camp and the BBQ!

This was the finish entrance from the day before.  Somehow riding down a shady glen lined with victory banners just never got old.  P.S.  When we finished yesterday they had Popsicle waiting for us.  Very nice on a 90 degree day!

Sunset and home for the night!
