Trekkers in the Pacific Northwest Bike the Islands of the Puget Sound


Amid the foggy morning mist and the wild bunnies around our tents, the second day of biking began. After hastily disassembling our tents, enjoying a breakfast of fruit and sandwiches, we packed our bikes and hit the road. Many miles separated us from our camp the coming night, so Spencer and I lead the pack at a quick clip. As we made our way north, the terrain underwent many changes. Before we knew it the rugged mountains that were blanketed with towering trees gave way to rolling feilds through which we made great time. For lunch, we enjoyed, like breakfast, an assortment of fruit and sandwiches at the beautiful Meerkirk Gardens overlooking the Puget Sound. Afterwards, we rode along the coastal roads before making it to our campsite at Deception Pass State Park located in northern Whidbey Island 49.3 miles from our starting point.
