First
day back on the bike after I reached the west coast, my primary goal.
For the first few miles it felt strange being back on the bike after
Friday. I still had a great day on the bike although it was a pretty
short one. My destination for today, was Port Townsend on the Olympic
Peninsula. I already reach Port Townsend at 1pm. So I had some time
to walk around downtown before I could check in at the motel.
I
started the day after a nice breakfast at the bowling alley across
the street from the motel. I wouldn't have guessed that I could get
breakfast at a bowling alley, but the guy at the motel suggested it.
After breakfast I started my route to Port Townsend. The route was
pretty different to what I had anticipated. I had to deal with quite
a bit of up and down along the way, and the climbs were short but
pretty steep. This made today a bit harder than expected. The scenery
on my way was fantastic. Going through forests and with some great
views along the way. Today I couldn't do the whole trip on my bike,
because I had to ake the ferry for the last 6 miles from Keystone to
Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. So today I had only 35 miles
on the bike and than about 6 miles by ferry. From the ferry I had
only short distance left to the motel. Port Townsend is a really nice
little town at the coast. I didn't bike through town and instead left
the bike at the motel and took a stroll through downtown. After I
came back to the motel, the room was ready and I could check in. I
was not really exhausted when I was finished for the day, but it is
actually quite nice and relaxing to only bike for a few hours.
Conclusion
for the day:
Being
at the coast, doesn't mean it has to be flat.
