Enduring the Heat: Crossing from Oregon into Idaho - Trans American Cycling Adventure | Episode 3

In this video I set off from my motel that I stayed at in John Day, Oregon, and thankfully found a slightly cooler morning waiting for me. Unfortunately this did not last, and after one nice fresh day of riding I was back into the heat for the next few days. I passed through some lovely little American towns again, and eventually left Oregon, crossing into Idaho, a state I briefly rode through during my journey along the GDMBR last year.

So far I am following the classic American Cycling Association Trans America Bicycle Trail, which was established in 1976 for the U.S. Bicentennial, and is a renowned coast-to-coast cycling route spanning approximately 4,200 miles. Starting in Astoria, Oregon, and ending in Yorktown, Virginia, riders experience the majestic Rockies, the serene Midwest plains, and the historic Appalachian Mountains.

Thank you for watching, and if you would like to follow along with this adventure please make sure to subscribe.
