(^26) Boardman – Pendleton & Shuttle bus to La Grande - 100 km
(& 45 miles by shuttle bus)
The next morning, a short bike ride took me to a surprisingly well-
stocked bike shop for such a small community. After replacing the
pedals, I rolled into La Grande early, with the wind at my back.
As soon as the road left the Columbia River, the landscape changed to
vast plains where my path took me through endless wheat fields. Still
suffering from a cold and not feeling too energetic, I pushed over the
hills and soon spotted Pendleton far down in the valley.
In Pendleton, signs indicated the stretch between Pendleton and La
Grange was off-limits to bicycles due to maintenance work. However,
this was well-organized America, and a shuttle bus operated between
the two towns. Unfortunately, the bus departed at 17h00, leaving a
long wait. Once in pretty La Grange, I weakened at the sight of a
motel room, which made it easy to kick back for the rest of the
evening.
