quest for 1000 cont.

This weekend we decided to hop on the bikes and head out of town to Whidbey Island.



We rode from my house to the ferry in Muckelteo, then rode our bikes onto the ferry and over t Whidbey. It was another couple miles to a lake where we met up with friends, then another couple miles to where we camped. Once there it was all about relaxing with a little wiffle ball, good food, dominoes, and a campfire.
Saturday morning we went out to do a little berry picking (mostly huckleberries and salmon berries) before breakfast.


After a little more lounging around, it was back on the bikes. In all it was about a 50 mile round trip. That's not much more than my longest trip to date, but it was definitely a lot more challenging. The elevation chart shows what it was like getting to the ferry....notice the big drop at the end. That big drop (green) made for a big climb coming home. Of course I noticed last night that I had a flat tire. No idea when that happened.
