Motel Time - Day 7

Sharla had a wierd incident when she got a big pain in the leg before leaving camp. She prayed for God to take it away which He did.  She never had another incident of it the rest of the day.  We rode 40 miles to Shelton and wanted to do some more since it was early afternoon but the next campground was another 40 miles so we decided to motel it. After one week on the road it was time to do laundry, update the blog, and have a  nice bed to sleep in. Nice ride with pretty good bike lanes but had to be alert for many logging trucks on the road. Didn't see a single biker today.

Week 1 Recap:

Rode 225 miles in 6 days of riding

Travelled from Lynnwood, WA > Edmonds > ferry to Kingston > Port Angeles > ferry to Victoria > Sidney > ferry to Anacortes > through Whidbey Island > ferry from Coupeville to Port Townsend > Shelton.  

Highlights & Lessons:

Bicycle touring is a great way to meet people

Hills can be challenging

Be well organized so can get out of camp early

God's creation is evident in the Puget Sound area

Washington and Vancouver Island are great places to ride
Weather has been fantastic... no rain & perfect temperature
