Take advantage of the few rest stops with trees for shade and carry more water/gatorade than you think you'll need. In Oregon, downtown Baker City is pretty cool if you have the time to stop but really, the great riding area in eastern Oregon is around the Snake River (Hell's Canyon). I'm sure the PNW guys will have some other thoughts about that.
Thanks for the tips. Baker City is known for it's bikefest in July, & I am thinking of heading that way if I don't have anything else going on.

Don't think its going to be as hot in May as it was for you in August...hopefully we'll have a stop for fun or food in Baker City!
