Day 7: Lake Quinault to Artic RV Park

Today was especially brutal for the heat, hills, and sore legs. The view wasn’t spectacular but rather foggy with lots of traffic and logging trucks. I was constantly cold, then extremely hot, then cold. I got a coffee to warm my hands up once we made it out of the forest and into a town. …

Day 6: Forks to Lake Quinault

Olympic National Park We slept in and finally left around 9 am. Apart from a brief jaunt through Olympic National Park, the day’s ride was mostly down the rural 101 through depressed logging areas and towns. We passed through a bunch of First Nations reservations, and it was eye opening to see the dilapidated infrastructure …

Day 5: Sequim to Forks (Surprise Century Ride Day)

The Olympic Discovery Trail to Forks We woke up well rested in Beth Ann's A-frame camper around 6 a.m. and headed out on the Olympic Discovery Trail (which passes through her backyard!). I struggled to keep my tent from falling off of my rear rack, and began to regret bungee cording everything on instead of …

Day 3 & 4: Sequim and Agnew

I started out day 3 in downtown Sequim at the Rainshadow Cafe for a delicious cold chai. I sat with a couple from the area, and we had a long chat about my journey and their lives. The husband used to be a merchant and sailed frequently with his company until he was kidnapped and …

Day 2: Port Townsend to Sequim/Port Angeles

Puget Sound My phone and solar charger died on Day 2, so I wasn’t able to take pictures, but I LOVE PORT TOWNSEND! I caught the Coupville- Port Townsend ferry ($3.50) early. It was a cold, 45 minute ride. Upon arrival at Port Townsend, I ended up at a restaurant called Blue Moose Cafe for …

Day 1: Whidbey Island

I decided to take the Mukilteo Ferry ($6.50) to the Clinton Terminal on Whidbey Island because it was supposed to be a safe place for cyclists, and a good place to start my trip. ***[I included the miles I rode on the Centennial Trail (Seattle to Arlington) as part of the trip's total mileage, so …

Arrival at SeaTac Airport

Unpacking the Bike I won’t lie— it was a huge hassle getting the bike into a box. I had to remove both tires and the pedals. I managed to shove everything into a 54” x 8”x 24” bike box that I bought from FedEx ($15). I wrapped the different bike parts with old Amazon cardboard …

Adventure Cycling the Pacific Coast Highway

I'll be bike-packing the Pacific Coast Highway from Washington to California for the next month. I can’t wait to share more details once I’ve arrived safely at my destination! I have no idea what to expect, and I am 100% winging it (no previous training). I’m dropping a list of my “materials” for the trip …
