In Winthrop, Washington

Over the last four days, Jodi and I have biked from Anacortes, Washington on the Pacific edge of North America, to Winthrop, Washington, a small, rustic town tucked into the shadow of the Pacific Crest. We’ve traveled 167 miles, with long, steep climbs up to Rainy and Washington passes in the North Cascades. The roads have been lightly traveled; along several, it would be 15 or more minutes before a car would pass. A heat wave has passed through, and the days have been in the mid-90s with cloudless blue skies. Luckily, we are both familiar with being outdoors on hot, sunny days, so we made good progress into the mountains.

The internet has been spotty at best; photos have been difficult to upload. We’ll provide a longer recap at the earliest convenience. Look through the portfolio photos for a recap of the last several days!
