Dia 5
Day 1 Bellevue to Sultan
9 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
35.45 miles 1557 ft. Our first few days are fairly low mileage days so we can get our bike legs. Also we have a trip mascot that you might see in future photos- the Gnome.

After another great breakfast thanks to Dave, we headed to the 520 Trail heading east. Unfortunately, right before we got to the trail, one of riders went down. As it turned out she had a mild heart attack. We don’t know if she will be able to rejoin us.

The rest of our group continued onward and enjoyed the beautiful trails and scenery. After a few wrong turns, we took a break and had lunch at Pizza Coop. Back on route we of course immediately had a huge steep climb on a full stomach! The rest of the day included some climbs, but nothing too bad. We are now in a more rural area of small towns. By mid afternoon we could see snow topped mountains. We plan on a good nights rest and a short day tomorrow.Leia mais

Day 2 Sultan to Skykomish
10 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 52 °F
26.27 miles 1517 ft. We had a false start this morning! As soon as we rode out of the motel parking lot, it started misty rain. So we turned around and got our rain gear. Today was a short ride but mostly climb with rain and a lot of tourist traffic. There were amazing views of white water rapids and lush forests. This takes your mind off any hard climbs.Leia mais

Since it was a fairly short day of riding we explored the small railroad mining town of Skykomish. This included and epic ride on a miniature electric rail with a mile and a half of track. We are all just big kids!Leia mais

11 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
51.06 miles 3709 ft. Today was a cold, gray, and slightly rainy day. The first 17 miles was a long uphill climb to the top of Steven’s Pass, an altitude of about 4000'. Dave met the group at a nice rest stop with hot stroganoff for lunch. It was then downhill to the hotel. Leavenworth is a lovely Bavarian village. We have a rest day here tomorrow.Leia mais

Day 4 Rest Day in Leavenworth, WA
12 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
The small city of Leavenworth was originally settled by pioneers in search of furs, mining, and lumber. The railroad brought wealth and a sawmill. However, when the sawmill closed and the railroad was rerouted, the city fell on hard times. In the 1960's the whole town rallied behind the idea of creating a Bavarian style tourist town. The buildings, restaurants, and businesses reflect that theme and attract large numbers of tourists. We had a delightful day exploring the city.Leia mais

Day 5 Leavenworth to Chelan
13 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
58.12 miles, 3272”. Today we reached the leeward side of the Cascades and the scenery made a dramatic change. The mountain slopes are dry and dotted with a few trees and vegetation. Along the roadways we passed many apple orchards, as well as cherries and pears. It reminded of the pecan groves on the southern tier. Our lunch stop was at Entiat City Park on Lake Entiat, a man made lake on the Columbia River. There was a long scenic climb before a descent into Chelan, another tourist town on Lake Chelan.Leia mais

Day 6 Chelan to Coulee City
14 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
53.75 miles, 3357 ft. The route out of Chelan was a nice downhill to the river and then an eight+ mile climb with some steep 8–12% grades. It was overcast and a bit chilly and at times the ride was through the clouds. Fortunately most of the rest of the day was more flat or downhill. The landscape continues to change. Today there was little traffic and even fewer towns and houses.
Our home tonight is at the Ala-Cozy Motel in Coulee City. Coulee City sits on the Banks Lake near the Dry Falls Dam that is part of the Columbia River Basin which provides irrigation to the surrounding farmlands. The once flowing Dry Falls was a huge water fall that was over 3.5 miles wide and 400 feet high, much larger than Niagara Falls.Leia mais

Day 7 Coulee City to Davenport
15 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
58.67 miles 2050 ft. Today’s route was through the high plains with a nice little tailwind for much of the ride. The land is open with few trees. We passed many winter wheat and rape fields. There were a couple of small towns. It is almost overwhelming to view the vastness of this region. I always wonder how it must of been to cross this country in a covered wagon. The average pioneer traveled 10 miles a day. At least on bicycles we average 55-65 and sometimes more. As we neared our overnight in Davenport, there were a few more trees we can see mountains in the distance. Tomorrow we cross into Idaho.Leia mais

Day 8 Davenport to Coeur D' Alene
16 de junho de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
75.16 miles, 2242 ft. A longer mileage day meant an earlier rollout. The morning route followed Hwy 2 and some parallel side roads. A few miles out of Davenport, we stopped at the Inland NW Rail Museum for a few pics. There was one steep climb as we approached the outskirts of Spokane.

Lunch was at Riverside Park and the trailhead of the Spokane River Centennial Trail. This trail winds along the Spokane River to the Idaho border, where the North Idaho Centennial Trail continued to Coeur D' Alene. Another beautiful day with wonderful scenery.Leia mais
