Day 2


Start End Miles
Winthrop Winthrop Rest Day

My SAG is taking me around the Hwy 20 road closure at Ross Dam. Our SAG route will take us from Rockport to Winthrop where I will pick up the ride again. A winter rock slid closed the road and it won’t be open again until July.


Not a lot to be said about today. It was a seven hour drive to get back on route. That was the shortest way possible.

I’m grateful to have SAG along with me. The detour would have taken a week without SAG. The acronym stands for “Support and Gear.” Since SAG refers to support as well as the person supplying the support, I was cautioned by my SAG to be careful how I spelled that term. I was told under no circumstances was I to spell that with an “N” an “H,” or a B.”
