Fort Ebey SP to Anacortes


Short distance day today (31 miles) but lots of hills and some busy traffic on highway 20 through Deception Pass and in to Anacortes. As with Port Townsend, there is a bike trail that carries you in to town, so for the last few miles you get a nice cruise along the waterfront. In fact Anacortes has taken what I would assume is an old railroad bridge across Fidalgo Bay and turned it into a pathway; very nice.

Once I reached Anacortes I had one specific and all-consuming need. LAUNDRYMAT. You know how they say you generally don't smell yourself? Not true after a week on the road.

Through with personal hygiene chores I made my way up to the middle school where we were gathering for the start of American Lung Association's Trek-Tri Island, a 3 day ride through the San Juan Islands.
