In the spirit of the
cross country ride in 2010, I will share the best of the day, worst of the day,
the quote of the day, and of course a picture. Day 1 of the ride will begin
when we officially meet with the WomanTours staff on Tuesday September 25,
2012. Meantime we will start with our first four days -Bellingham.
Hugs to all who are following our journey……and a special
thank you to all who made this journey possible!!
First four days in Bellingham, WA (9/21 – 9/24)
Friday: Arrived in
Bellingham after 16 hours of car, plane and bus travel. Kirby and Patti had arrived earlier. Sharing our hotel were the Ladies of Harley
(LOH) who had their convention here. Lots
of bikes in the parking lot! This
picture was taken at one of our favorite displays!
Saturday: Picked up
our bikes at the Bellingham Fanatik Bike Shop where they had been shipped (mine
from Bluedog Cycles) and reassembled. We
rode our bikes back to the hotel but it wasn’t the last time we were seen at
their shop! Picture taken with some of
the bike tech staff.
Sunday: Rode to the
Canadian/U.S. border in Blaine, WA and back to Bellingham. Our odometers registered the first 59.8
miles of our journey. Picture taken at
Peace Arch Park.
Monday: Packed, repacked
and packed again. We are calculating
every, every ounce so we pass the “weight” test for the tour. Met up with more tour participants, most have
been on past WomanTours rides as we have.
So many stories to share!
