A long ride… then some rest!
We woke up that morning determined to make alot of distance that day. Since we were a bit behind schedule, we left as early as we could (around 11:00 am). Our destination was the city of Longview next to the Washington-Oregon border. We followed the route that the couple and Phoebee had advised us the night before, since it was the quickest and easiest.
Tip: From experience, a very good way of finding the best routes and of avoiding the worst ones is to ask advice from the locals.
This day, we saw a bear in the woods and an elk that had been run over by a car, and later a bear (not sure what type or whether it was a baby or not). We both had our first flat tire. We finally arrived at Longview at about 7:00 pm, after buying some raspberries at the entrance of the city. Since all that intense riding made us pretty hungry, Gilbert ordered a burger at Stuffy’s that may have been a little too big for him…
Gilbert happy of having his mega burger
Might be a little too big for his mouth (but not for his biker appetite!)
After waking up late the next day, we had breakfast and headed to the bike shop to repair our pannier racks. After finishing the repairs at 4:30 pm, we realized that it would be probably more reasonnable to continue our journey the next day…
Distance covered: 134.5km
Total distance so far: 681km
