From April 27 - May 13, 2026, b7 and I rode from Quail Haven to Bend, Or.
We rode aqueduct, DPW, and highway up along the 395 to Bishop, then did a small section of the Caldera 500 to loop up to Whitmore Hot Springs and back down to town. We took a zero there and then a bus from Bishop to Reno. We rode the NorCal Outback route from Reno to Klamath Falls, where b7 got on a train home. I continued on up the 97 to Bend, Or.
