Hello, The above group met last Sat and drove 4 hours to Neah Bay. On Sunday we transported everyone to the Pacific Ocean and were blessed by a Native American leader.
We have now crossed the state of Washington and are in Idaho. The Cascades were beautiful and with all the waterfalls, I now understand how the Cascades were named. We had been rained on 4 of 5 days. We were able to make it through Idaho in one day.
The scenery has been magnificient and the passes challenging, while not much higher than Denver altitude wise.
The group is persistently determined to ride as many miles as possible. They are strong riders with a great deal of knowledge and expertise. Most have ridden with Timberline in the past.
I had the great fortune to see cousins, Rick Lentini in Seattle and Steve and Julie Lentini in Colville as they came up from Spokane. It was great to see all three and get a little more caught up.
Most days begin early, around 6:30 or 7 with breakfast and then loading up the two trailers with luggage and putting food and water in the van for guests as they ride across the countryside. Dave Holt and I share the responsibilities of driving one van and split the time on the bike. as the day winds down, we make sure all the riders are in at the motel or hotel, we unload luggage, work on bikes as needed, have dinner with everyone and usually go to bed early, at least it seems early, as it is still light in the Pacific Northwest.
