Bend, Oregon 2025

We had a great camping spot at The Camp in Bend.  We could ride our bikes into town.  The showers and laundry services were delightful.  Bad Religion and Drop Kick Murphys were playing in the outside venue.  We rode around to try to hear them.  We found our favorite gelato icecream store, Bonta, and ate on a lawn as we listened to the music.  

The next day, we drove to McKenzie to do a long 25-mile bike ride.  We had a few problems with construction and the need for shammy cream.  But we had a beautiful time.  The Blue Pool was amazing.  I got a fun cliff jump into the coldest water I have ever been in.  It was so blue.  Then we wound our way through trees until we got to Bigelow Hot Springs.  Darren and Ella rode on, and we waited for them there.  Shakes and burgers after were amazing.  

Our last day was rode at Phil's trails.  Then we floated the river and enjoyed the cool water.  Darren planned a great trip.  We all loved it.
