Northern Most Point - Day 4

Left Victoria on our way to Sidney. The trail started as the Galloping Goose Trail and then we turned off onto the Lochside Trail - which was a combination of pavement and  hard-packed dirt - great bike trail. Arrived in Sidney early and met a couple from Toronto doing a morning jog before their flight home who told us the only way we could complete our journey is through our love for one another.  

Caught ferry to Anacortes where we met fellow bicyclers, Sarah, from Seattle and her Mom from Chicago who wanted to ride some mountains. Talked to another guy who was on a motorcycle ride with friends, who wished he was on a bicycle but didn't have anyone to go with him.

Finally heading South... soon after leaving Anacortes, a couple stopped us on the road to ask some questions about our panniers. They are fellow tourers and had just ordered some Ortlieb rolling panniers and wanted to see how they compared to ours. They told us about warm showers.com where bicyclers host other bicyclists. They invited us to spend the night but we wanted to move on further down the road.

We spent the night in Deception Pass State Park where we had a secluded hiker/biker campsite.

The ride from Anacortes to where we spent the night had some tough short steep hills that Sharla called "wicked". She was a little discouraged thinking it was going to be like that the rest of the way .  We travelled about 30 miles.
