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

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

Day #64 I was able to get into a dentist in the morning and have my crown permanently fixed. It was a lot of waiting, but it just gave me time to read. I’m still reading, “Autobiography of a Yogi”. After the dentist, I walked around Missoula. Got some lunch, went to an art museum,

Slept well last night, except for the occasional train running through town in the middle of the night. I started biking at 6:15. It was 55 degrees and I just wore shorts and a T shirt. I biked down the frontage road to I-90 for 10 miles. Then I deviated from the Komoot route. Komoot
