After breakfast, we packed snacks for the day, with fruit, nuts, power bars, M&Ms, cranberries and other dried fruit, and even biscotti and Oreos to choose from. We also could make PB&Js, and I guess this is the plan for every day. We began the day with a short ride to Washington Park, where we eventually all dipped our tires in Puget Sound, and lined up to have our pictures taken altogether, with all of us wearing our new Womantours shirts. It was a great moment.
Today was a relatively easy day, with the first of daily cue sheets directing us to roads less traveled, through farmland, and along a bike path that led around part of Fidalgo Bay at low tide. We also biked around Bay View State Park.
After the first twenty miles, the sag vehicle showed up, with snacks and a roster to check off our names and make sure we showed up. In all, it was a 37-mile day. And I didn't come in last!
Yesterday (Saturday), Jeff and Maria met me at the plane and took me to Anacortes, where we all had a banquet with the Womantours team, then posed by the truck that doubles as a luggage storage and a kitchen for most meals along the way.
