John completed a long-standing goal on the last weekend of July when he biked from our house in Bellevue to the Pacific Ocean.
It took two days to go the 120 miles - 80 miles the first day and 40 miles the second day. We got a hotel room in Elma, WA for the overnight and MJ and the boys came out to stay and go to the beach the following day.
The first day involved a ride to Seattle, boarding a ferry to Bremerton, and then another 65 miles through city streets, along the beautiful Hood Canal, and on back roads near logging farms before arriving in Elma.
The second day was a straight shot to the ocean, through a few small towns and on a bike trail before waving to MJ and the boys as they drove by about 5 miles from the end. John ended at Twin Harbors State Park, where he dipped his feet in the water (too cold to swim!) and walked along the beach.
