I cheated a little bit!
The sun was out early today so I was looking forward to a great day of cycling. Before leaving Fort Ebey, I took some pictures from the bluff above the sound. Great views of the Olympic mountains and the San Juan’s.
So after leaving I headed for the mainland. Along the way I crossed over Deception Pass. Then it was on to Anacortes for some lunch. After a nice lunch I had planed on detouring to Bellingham to see Sandy Barbero, an old friend from my Republic days. Trouble was it was going to take me more than a day to get there. So I called Sandy and she drove down to Anacortes and drove (yes, drove) me to Bellingham. I rationalized this in my mind because it was off route and I would make the difference by pedaling back to Sedro Woolley from her house. We had a great time catching on life. And I got to sleep in a real bed!
Greg. It’s not cheating unless she is married.
Dennis, I guess that is right. But read the day 5 report!
Great pictures, keep it coming. How much do you estimate the weight of your loaded bike? 50 lbs, 60, more. We need details!
I really don’t to know the exact weight but it must be around 75-80 lbs including the bike itself. I can barely lift it.
