Today we woke up at you guessed it, 4:30 o’clock! Hopefully it’s the last 4:30 wake up, and I am perfectly fine with not waking up at the crack of dawn. It was chilly in the morning but it was beautiful because it was foggy and we were riding near the river. As we rode, we were in the valley and saw mountains to our left and right. We rode 25 miles to breakfast in Concrete, Washington. We had the usual diner breakfast, and continued on our journey. We were on one road for most of the way, and as the day went on, the road got busier. Eventually, we saw the water of the bay and traveled down Fidalgo Island and went through Deception Pass. It wasn’t really a pass, but we did cross a bridge with a beautiful view.

From there, we went some more miles to the tip of the island to catch a ferry. Needless to say, the bikeloud crew is fully supportive of ferries. This ferry was shorter than the last one, but it still provided a pleasant experience. After the ferry, we grabbed some Chinese takeout and then ate it overlooking one of the many bays in the area. We could see the mountains we had climbed a few days back. Tonight we’re staying at a Boy Scout cabin, and we’re all excited for what tomorrow has to bring.
Peace! Daniel Gulisano
