Day 2: Andy Speier graciously gave me his spare chainring bolt and I managed to free up and lube the derailleur cable, so this was pretty uneventful compared to day 1. Ninemile hill in the once again brutal heat and the moondust were almost a pleasure compared to day 1 shenanigans.
White Jesus in our closet at Hot Springs. Pretty sure he was a fixie rider.
Even the school buses in Hot Springs knew it was going to be hot

Blissful scenery on the way to Ninemile Hill
Gravel? What gravel?

Postscript:
We headed south past Mount Hood with our twin Ross Mount Hoods on the roof and then did a partial ride around the rim of Crater Lake. Unfortunately, we couldn't do the entire rim due to road construction. Perhaps next time (though we heard that this is a 5-year construction project).

Hey, did anybody find my yellow rimmed mirror sunglasses? I sure would like to get those back. I lost them somewhere in Hot Springs at dinner.

Early departure from Hot Springs on Sunday to beat the heat!
Sun was quite low during the first paved segment out of Hot Springs. A lovely lovely start.
Guard Dalmatians, warning of the gravel to come just around the bend.
The first dusty summit on Sunday
A most welcome site! Choke at the ready!
Hope to be back next time!

Bikes: Still have a few left!
Came home to myriad problems with my home renovation. Took all week, but thankfully all back on track now.. Just downloaded my CINO pics to discover moon dust got into lens retraction mechanism of my Canon G10. Most pics didn't happen, a few partly obscured by covers which didn't fully move. So I'm very grateful for all the great pics here! Posting The few I got. Don

I mostly don't have any pictures with people in them because I was following through on my announced intention of bringing in the laterne rouge. Alas, you have to finish to be the lanterne rouge, so I didn't do ot after all. I was feeling pretty good at the bacon lady stop, and that was possibly the best bacon I've ever had.
I walked the first quarter mile or so down through the moon dust because I'm still healing from my last crash. Once I got down to solid ground I really enjoyed that part of the descent and I was feeling pretty good about my chances for completing the day's ride. But then the road went uphill again and the trees parted enough to give me a preview of the afternoon.
At some point one of the support drivers came by and mentioned that I wasn't likely to make it to lunch before they closed up, but he said he'd make me a plate and I should keep going. About 1000 yards later I saw the same driver talking to [MENTION=46382]bikingshearer[/MENTION]. A gentleman's agreement was made with regard to whose idea we would say it was to sag and we both got it the car. Another 1000 yards down the road we found a rider on his back trying to fight off heat stroke. It turned out to be [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION]. Rich took one for the team and got back on his bike to give up his place in the sag wagon to our fallen comrade. I wasn't so noble.
Given the realities of the road surface, we didn't make it to the lunch stop a whole lot sooner than the riders we saw on the road. For instance, I had been leap frogging with [MENTION=8403]ollo_ollo[/MENTION] most of the day, and he passed our sag vehicle at least once before we got to lunch and he was at lunch before I finished my sandwich.
Finally, facing temps approaching 100 degrees and no shade in the afternoon I called it a day and road to Hot Springs in the backseat of a support vehicle.
Next year for sure!
If you look really close, you can see [MENTION=8403]ollo_ollo[/MENTION] riding away from me in this first picture.

It's the gentleman's private property, which he is happy to share with us and he has never asked for compensation. Best I can describe him is as a cowboy gentleman - he doesn't bring up politics unless someone else starts something. For years he has opened his property to Cino and he has never judged us, so I kindly asked participants at the pre-ride sermon to do the same and they obliged. He was at lunch greeting people and we all had a fantastic time.

Gonna bump this for some advice. What have you folks done to clean your Cino chain? Finally got around to cleaning up my bike and hasn't been bad except for the caked up dust inside the chain links. If I do my usual wipe and lube it will get pretty ugly. Thinking about hosing it off and then soaking in mineral spirits.

I also struggled with the chain. For me, I swapped the chains (tandem) out and am still soaking the moon dust ones in kerosene. Really for no more reason than I had an old can of kerosene laying about. I also have an ultrasonic cleaner (in the box) I was thinking of busting out. Haven't decided what fluid to fill it with.
For me, it was the hubs. Really bad in there.

I cleaned mine with thin lube and towels but figure I’ll just replace it soon. Chains are relatively cheap and it was a used one anyway.
