Day 1: Anacortes, WA to Quilcene, WA

8/15/2013

Today’s route is a 71-miler through Oak Harbor, on Whidbey Island, then onto Port Townsend via ferry. My ride finishes in Quilcene, home to the Quilcene oyster, on Quilcene Bay. It's cloudy here in Anacortes, but the forecast is sunny and 80° in Quilcene. I looped through Washington Park this morning, and I'm now at Mary Ann's Kitchen having breakfast. It's already 10:00 and I haven't left Anacortes yet!

When you told us about packing light, we thought you should reconsider - what is one more pannier? Laughed out loud when you wrote about not having anything to wear while your clothes were in the washer. The pictures are great, Washington is such a beautiful state. Enjoy and ride safe.

On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.
While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement. I'm going to need all the help I can get!

For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.

If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.
