Our initial determination of the route elevation was based on driving the course. Sometimes bike computers pick up the climbing on little rollers that we lose when we're in the car.

At the finish line we had reports from 7,250-8,500 (with some having gone through Pendleton). So we'll update the website as to the total gain.

Our ride report will be posted in the next day or two. Unfortunately, we'll have to report that there was a lot of absolutely appalling behavior by riders - including urinating in public at checkpoints where BATHROOMS WERE AVAILABLE. There's a good chance we're going to lose our permission to use two of the checkpoints. The ride was put in serious jeopardy yesterday. Sad really.
