Rod angered the gravel gods early on and then we had our fair share of chunky gravel. Except for the first 5km, we were on the trail right through to Idaho. Several nice bridge trestles on the way. As we were leaving Pine City...

Rolling hills and gravel roads were today’s theme. Due to some private land ownership we had a lot of bypasses which put us on rural gravel roads with minimal traffic, but a few tough climbs. Landscapes were amazing and it...

Theme of today was animals. We saw lots of birds – especially swallows and hawks. We also rode through a cow field for 7km … Had to wait for a few cows to mooooove aside. Several deer, a desert fox and a few snakes...

Moved today from Potholes State Park to a hip camp near Spokane. There is an airshow at the nearby airfield tomorrow, so maybe Margot will see it. Pancake Breakfast Leaving Potholes Arriving at Willow...

A hot day. We started out on the road for 25km because there is a gap in the trail. Went through a lot of water. Tom picked up a thorn which punctured his tube. Not a problem to replace, but we were in a rail cut and it was...

A mix of pavement, gravel roads and trail. We were facing more or less a headwind all day and a Cat 4 climb near the end. Good news is that the section over the new Crab Creek Bridge is really nice. Start in Beverly Departure...

First full day out of the rain, so definitely warmer.  This was likely our hardest day with loose sand a few inches deep in places.  Great view of Mount St. Helens from the trestle over the I90. Ellensburg Trailhead Trail...

Moved the trailer and tents to Potholes State Park.  At first we weren’t sure about this park, but it’s quite nice.  The layout gives you space, lots of green (from the irrigation), some shade and lots of places to...

Three more tunnels and a lot of cycling beside the Yakima River. Mostly downhill and with the prevailing wind behind us. The gravel was looser and this would be a lot tougher going the other direction. We also cycled out of the...

Start of the trip.  This section has many interesting trestles and tunnels.  We took our time and a lot of pcitures.  Nice to be able to ride straight into camp. Cedar Falls Trail Near Cedar Falls Cedar Falls Sign Trestle...
