063 Cycle Touring the USA (2) - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^22) The Dalles - 32 km

I emerged with a sore throat and could feel a nasty cold taking hold.
I had no patience for these minor illnesses and hoped it would
disappear overnight. (Don't we all?) But, pedalling out of town, a stop
at Safeway provided medicine, claiming to clear a cold in record time.
Feeling positively rotten, I cycled a meagre 30 kilometres to the next
campsite—a pity as the weather was great and the day wind-free.
People informed me that the Gorge was a notoriously windy area, and
one could merely hope the wind-free weather would last until the
following day.
