Houston - this is Tranquility Bay - Oops -Make that Sequim Bay


I'm here. 

First I stopped at a store / deli about 4 miles from the park and ate a cup of beef barley soup, bowl of chicken Bowtie pasta and half a prosciutto panini and bought water and a beer. It cost me 30 minutes but bought me a full belly, renewed energy and saved the time of cooking at the camp site. 


I then raced the final 4 miles to the park. 

And grabbed the best of the 3 biker / hiker sites. 

I unloaded the panniers and rack bag and locked them to the bench. 

Not bad for 12 bucks. 

And pretty good day for an old Redneck from Texas...

81 miles on a Mountain Bike loaded with 75# of gear. 

10 mpg avg with a crazy 44.3 mph max on 1 downhill. 

In the saddle about 10 hours today and had some highs and lows but stuck with it and ended up with a Personal Best in many categories. 

Incredible 2nd Day!

I'll try to get some pics and commentary on the day but just wanted to say...

Welcome to Sequim Bay!

  2. Fuel = Miles. Cycling is the most efficient means of transportation know to man. Will do a post on that sometime
