The Route

Boarding Amtrak from Portland To Seattle on june 15th, we will ride a quick ferry to Bainsbridge Island. From there we will start pedaling up to Anacortes were we then begin to head east.

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.

-- Ernest Hemingway

  2. Ride to live; live to ride... Ride hard, Kane, you always do.

    Take lots of photos. Oh, and if you're in Iowa, stop by Tipton, my best friend lives there and he'll be more than happy to take you and your friends in for a group shower (because you'll need it - riding cross country makes boys stinky).

    Love,
    Leland
