Routes / Re: Oregon fires

« on: August 15, 2024, 05:04:13 am »

My buddy and I finished westbound a couple of weeks ago.  The fires in Oregon were a major concern and air quality was quite a challenge on a couple of the days.  There were cyclists ahead of us and they opted to use the bus service that runs on Highway 26 to Redmond, Or. to leapfrog the smoke (obviously not much use if the highway is closed!).

I’ve just completed the Trans America with a Helinox Zero - an essential requirement in my opinion!

Other brands are available….

General Discussion / Re: Bike 'friendliness' of US hotels?

I finished the Trans America Trail a couple of days ago and stayed in nearly 50 motels/hotels. None of them objected to bikes in the room and several put us in first floor rooms, without being asked, when they saw the bike helmets.

All very positive!
