Today
was a really long and tough day on the Olympic Peninsula. Not what I
had originally planned, but there were just not that many places for
me to stay the night between Forks and Aberdeen. After I almost
didn't find a place in Forks last night, I already anticipated in the
morning that it could become a long day. I really didn't think that
it would be that hard to find a place for the night. Since I went all
the way to Aberdeen, I'm a day ahead of schedule. Originally I
planned to do the 110 miles in two days, so I will have to figure out
what I will do with the extra day.
Today
I got an early start, since I already expected that it could become a
long day. Still I stopped for breakfast, shortly after I left the
motel. I really needed a nice big breakfast, since I didn't know when
I would have a chance to get something else to eat on today's route.
After breakfast I got on my way and stayed on the highway for the
whole day. No bike paths, today. Just like the last few days there
was a lot of traffic on the route. But the road conditions were good
and the weather was perfect, so it was still a good ride. The up and
down on the route continued, this in combination with the long
distance made the ride really tough. I was happy when I finally
arrived in Aberdeen and could get some rest. I would say, this was
one of the toughest days on my trip. The scenery was similar to the
last few days until I came closer to Aberdeen and I was surrounded by
a more residential area. Even though I was quite exhausted when I
arrived, I still enjoyed the ride.
Conclusion
for the day:
Even
after more than two months on the bike, 100+ miles in a day is still
not an easy task.
