Last year I took a bike trip from Seattle to Vancouver by myself. On the first night I slept in a field next to a church. On the second day I rode over a hundred miles. It is one of my favorite memories from last summer.
A Wetzler brimming with confidence and expectation gets a late 3:00pm start from near U-Village.
Base camp is set up in a field near a Methodist church in Arlington. Highlights from day one: coasting through the lush forests of Skagit Valley on silent bike trails; drinking a Guinness before bed. Sixty-something miles down.
The morning after sleeping like a baby in the field.
Base camp with supplies.
The haggard face of radness (morning after sleeping in the field).
Lunch on day two before tackling the breathtaking hills of Chuckanut drive.
Mile X of over one hundred on day two. Blazing hot August day. Crossed Canadian customs on bike. Awesome.ww
