Anacortes, WA

Our last couple of rides were stunningly beautiful with a crisp on shore breeze.  We left the mountains but we could still see the snow covered peaks...

We rode from Marblemount, WA along the Skagit River, West towards the Pacific...

The forest was full of lichens and mosses...
We hopped on a green tunnel in Concrete (Henry is in this photo)...

That took us almost all the way to Burlington where we snuck into town on the levee...

On our final, mostly ceremonial ride, we took a few back roads towards Anacortes...
And quickly found ourselves riding along the ocean...


We reached the bike path that takes you into town...
We biked through town and made our way to the beach racing each other up the small hills when we came upon a wonderful surprise...
Our friends The Maley's were at the beach with Tibetan Prayer flags that chronicled our journey with a ceremonial passage to our terminus...
Reaching the end is certainly bitter sweet, but we are already planning our next bike travel adventure!

Thanks to everyone for tuning in and providing the support and opportunity to make this happen.  We are totally grateful that we were able to pull something like this off and we never could have done it without people like you!

Libby, MT

A little heat wave is hitting the Northwest and we certainly felt it on the ride into Libby, MT... We road the rest of the length of Lake Koocanusa... All the way to the Libby dam that created the lake... Where we met up with Bonnie and got some cold drinks before making our way to Libby... Here, Henry is letting me know what the best Gatorade flavor is and why and I think I finally get it... After the Libby Dam, we road along the Kootenai River... We were hot and exposed before getting to the City of Eagles, Libby, MT... And hiked out to these falls on the west side of town this am... Planning to hide from the heat and take a few rest days until it hopefully breaks on Monday...

Fergus Falls, MN

The pictures from today are beautiful but this was probably the hardest ride we have had the entire adventure.  We pulled out of Alexandria.... Got back on the trail and headed northwest to Fergus Falls... It was great when we had the green tunnel but those stretches of trail were few and far between (we already miss the deciduous forest!)... And when we were not in the green tunnel we were totally exposed... We took a break in Dalton (the little blue dot above is us)...where the strapped down trash can was even blown over! And then headed back into the wall of wind... We did not even have to use our brakes to stop! We arrived in Fergus Falls totally spent... Having earned every foot of these 51.2 miles...
