Biking in Bellingham!!

Adam and I have been biking all over beautiful Bellingham, Washington! It is sooo gorgeous here. Even thought it spatter rains every day all day and it is only 55 degrees it is still a great place for biking. Everyone bikes here. There are bike racks on every corner and every bike rack is stock full of bikes. The drivers are also extremely acostume to seeing bikers on the road and they are very polite.

We found a huge mountain to bike up today here are some pics of us going up it. For those of you who bike in Ellicot City, Maryland it was as steep at the beginning of Ilchester Road (18% grade) and that steepness lasted for about 1.5miles. It was awesome!

The Ski to Sea race is tomorrow! And on Tuesday we will start biking across the country!

Yeah go to it guys. If you get a chance, see if you can catch a ferry out of Bellingham...if not Bellingham, Anacortes ferries, located 36 miles south of Bellingham...and go over to see the San Juan Islands...preferably Orcas Island. Hop over from Orcas to Friday Harbor or San Juan or Shaw Islands..biker paradise. They are all magical islands. Not too many places like them on earth!
