Day 1 Recap: It Didn't All Suck

Gotta take the good with the bad and this is some of the good
Most of my injury details are in the "It Could Have Been Worse," blog post.  As for the highlight of the day (unrelated to injury), I really enjoyed Washington Park and the point I rode out to before leaving Anacortes. Those side trips put me behind schedule and were partly responsible for making it an 80-mile day, but they were worth it.

Hung around to watch this guy jump off the cliffs in Anacortes, but he got busted by the Rangers before he ever had the chance.

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island
Had to stop and take this photo at NAS Whidbey for Derek.  Of course, he asked me if I went by before I ever had a chance to post it.  For those who don't know, our boy is training to be a Naval Aviator and is currently stationed at NAS Whiting Field in Florida.

Photo doesn't do Coupeville justice - neat little town

I thought the Coupeville - Pt. Townsend Ferry was actually in Coupeville, but it's about 10 miles up the road.  Messing around here really put me behind schedule.

    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.


    If you'd like to contact me personally, you can email me at Jfredericks@colliersparrish.com
