From: Fall City, WA
To: Montesano, WA
Distance: 108 miles
Climbing: 3275 feet
Average Speed: 12.1 mph
We started pretty much on time at 6 a.m. Spirits were high even though one of the first cars we saw drove by with "The Macarena" blaring - we overcame this inauspicious omen. Kevin's friend Jo was our roadie and paparazza today - she took a bunch of pictures that we'll post later. On the way to Seattle and our ferry to Bremerton we met up with Steve, who rode with us until lunchtime.
We made the first ferry with only minutes to spare. Steve was most kind in buying our ferry passage, but for some reason he thought we were going to Bainbridge and he tried really hard to get us to board the wrong boat.
Lunch in Union was Jo's treat - thanks Jo! After lunch Jo and Steve took their leave and we were on our own. We made it to our motel about 6 p.m. then headed over to the pizza joint for dinner, where we met a family of four with two young cyclists and two tandems. They started yesterday from Seattle and are headed to San Franciso. Way to go!
these drinks are breaking up old routines

Hi, your first day sounds like fun! And to think that you met some people who are not quite as insane as you!
Hey, with an average speed of "only" 12.1 mph on your first day, Janut and I could keep up with you on our bikes. Hmm...only 21 more days of riding...enjoy!
Looks like fun. The first day must of been tough when you sent me a picture of you drinking a beer at 12:10
Hey where is day two?
Good luck with the rest of the ride!
JA
yeah, what about day 2? why are you lugging that laptop around anyway? Cape disappointment indeed.
Well? What's the word on day 2 & 3? What good is schlepping the laptop &/or blackberry if they aren't being used. Hmmm?
Thinking of you and enjoyng your travel vicariously
