Finally in the saddle - Day 1 (August 22, 2012)

Got a late start. Sharla didn't get much sleep - nervous stomach but after getting on the road, was fine. First needed to work on our email list,then had to figure out our route and take some pictures. We barely managed to catch the 12:05 ferry from Edmonds to Kingston. We rode all the way to Sequim Bay State Park--47.3 miles for our first day. Beautiful ride but it also had some challenging long climbs. A highlight of the day was a stop at the picturesque Port Gamble.
