Day 06 - John Day to Baker City

About 80 miles and 5,000 feet of climbing.

Bike club jersey day, at the top of the first summit of the day.

Second summit of the day.

There was a covered wagon exhibit on the highway, a couple of clips:

On top of all the climbing, we had a good 10 miles at the end of the day fighting a strong head wind.
