I received a text message from Frontier Airlines right before I went to bed that my flight was delayed by three hours (5:45 to 8:45). But it also said that it could change. So, I kept my alarm on for 3:00am to check it then. At 3:00, the flight was only delayed by two hours. […]

My goal with this post is to give you my final thoughts on the adventure. I may add to this over time as I receive questions from people or new thoughts to share. How I got home: After dipping my front tire in the Pacific Ocean, I put my bike in Elizabeth’s rental car and

I woke up to my alarm at 6:15 and got ready to go. I was on the bike by 7:00. It was a cloudy and cool morning with a temperature of 56 degrees. The high temperature for the day was only going to be 63 degrees. The route today was a gradual climb up to

Day #74 Elizabeth arrived after 10:30pm, because her flight was delayed by weather in Charlotte. At least she arrived before the Crowdstrike computer glitch that shut down everything the following day. It was great to see her and we stayed up late talking. I still got up early and went to breakfast while Elizabeth slept.

I slept like a rock and didn’t wake up until 6:00. Which was great, because I had a short day of riding. I slowly got ready and was biking around 7:30. I continued on the rail trail that went through North Bend. The trail was very nice. About three miles into my ride, the rail

Last night I went to the same restaurant for dinner and my meal was excellent again. The Cottage Cafe in Cle Elum is superb! I also finished my book, “Autobiography of a Yoga”, last night. It seemed to take me a long time to get through that book, but I thought it was good. Haven’t

I slept so good last night! The hotel room had a foam mattress and it was so comfortable. I emailed them to see what brand it was. I slept so soundly that I woke up to my alarm at 4:15. I could have slept longer, but I wanted to get an early start today to

Last night I went to dinner at Couleegan’s Bar & Grill. It wasn’t crowded and I sat down in a booth. When Ed & Kerry saw that I was eating alone, they invited me to sit with them, which I did. We had a great conversation on a range of topics. They were very nice

I got up a little after 4:00 and was biking by 5:15. I have been on this early schedule to avoid the afternoon winds and heat. It was 65 degrees to start, and there was very little traffic on the road on this Sunday morning. The scenery started off as fields. Then it changed to

Last night, I went to the only restaurant in town for dinner (happened to be the same restaurant I went to for lunch). It was packed, but there was one seat at the bar. I sat next to a woman named, Agnes, and we had a great conversation. Agnes is from France and is traveling
