The 4th of July passed us by, apart from a massive number of bangs during the evening as people let off their fireworks. We thought we would cycle into town, about 4 miles, maybe watch the fireworks, but Lincoln is basically a 5-mile long strip mall next to a beach, so we didn’t, and spent […]

Up early, tent soggy, bagel and apricot jam for breakfast, then on the road. A hilly day today, apparently, and this begins as soon as we start riding. Nice view from the top, though. Just after this we stopped at a very local store to buy coffee and dark chocolate Milky Ways. The […] It was a beautiful if windy evening when we went to bed, but it was foggy when we awoke, so the tent is soggy again. Seems fairly standard now. Anyway, we discovered that our Lumix camera takes photos if you tap the screen on the back, so here’s one Diane took by accident. […] A sparkly blue day for our first cycling in Oregon, where we’d been promised fantastic scenery. The Oregonians, in their wisdom, have established the Oregon Coast Cycle Trail, with helpful signs showing you where to go, even if they do run along good ‘ol US 101, our old friend. We saw lots of […] The weather forecast, a fickle and changeable thing in the Pacific Northwest, says it’ll be nice weather all the way through the July 4th weekend. And indeed, it isn’t actually raining when we get up, and we can pack up the tent sort of dry-ish. Breakfast of camp scrambled eggs and bread, whilst watching hummingbirds […] Wet, Very, very wet. Today it rained, for most of the day. The forecast was for showers. If this was a shower, it was a jumbo, super-size shower, as it ran for about 6 hours. That notwithstanding, Diane was very happy again today apart from the wet. Anyhoo, we didn’t take many pictures […] Three days in one ! Bargain. An early ferry over to Bremerton on a blue day. It was so clear, Mount Rainier (pronounced Ran-ear) put in an appearance. On the boat we meet a number of cyclists, including a group of three who are riding supported from Seattle to San Francisco in 11 […] Up the next morning for a quick ride into town,and then a ferry over to Seattle. Good views on the way. We’re staying at the Hostelling International American Hotel, just inside Chinatown, a short ride from the ferry terminal. Walked to REI to buy some kit. Paul has to replace his […] Another blue sky morning and we got an early ferry from Friday Harbour. On the ferry we met a chap commuting to work in Anacortes who recommended a good route out of town. Good idea we thought, and it was a nice route along the Tommy Thompson trail avoiding some of the main road route. […] We decided to stay for three nights on San Juan to allow us to cycle round the island and look for whales at “possibly the best land-based point for observing orca in the world”, and spend a day kayaking. So off we went. Well, after messing around on the internet for an hour in […] |
