| 123456789 | <p>Tough day. </p><p>Three mountain passes.</p><p>I bent my chain going over the first.</p><p>I bent it back well enough to keep going, and met Sean, another tourer from Seattle, while I fixed it.We rode on to Baker City together, over the other two passes.</p><p>Going into Baker city was a 10 mile road at the end of an otherwise tediously long day. The road wasstraight as an arrow, perfectly flat, and a strong wind was blowing against us. It might as well have been 30miles. Uphill. We were glad to finally reach our destination. It's always easier to ride with a friend.</p><p>Fire danger today: Moderate</p>
