Preparing
for the cross country trek in Marysville,
WA on Saturday June 16th.
|
Dipping
the rear tire in the Pacific Ocean the next
morning denotes the official starting point.
|
Trying to
subdue the cold and wet weather with hot drinks at the picnic stop on the
first day's ride.
|
|
Judy and
Jean soak up the sun that finally came out in the afternoon on the second
day.
|
Snow
capped peaks and meandering streams were a common sight throughout Washington and Montana
during the first week.
|
Bike paths
like this one on the way to Kellogg,
Idaho were a nice break from
the bad combination of narrow shoulders and heavy, fast moving traffic that
we encountered along some of the major roads.

Cycle America staff
member John Newman took great pride in being one of the rare recumbant bike
riders.
|
Getting
older doesn't have to be a bad thing - the average age of the riders on this
trip was 50, and many of them (like Jody) were retired.
|
Trains
were another common western scene (see the tracks on the right side of the
stream).
