On a beautiful, 31-mile Whidbey Island ride.
The route we used to cross our threshold was part of the Tour de Whidbey route from last weekend.
On the Tour de Whidbey Vicky and I did the central part of the island, and created a 45-mile route. Jules did both the south and the central routes for his 100 miles.
Both days, today and last Saturday, are the reasons why people live in the PNW. Mild temperatures and lots of sun. And the astounding beauty of this island. On our bike ride today we saw two mountain ranges, beaches, tide areas, farms, fields, trees, Saratoga Passage, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, wildflowers, and birds.
Here we are after our ride today:
We did our 2000 miles in 90 rides, a bit over 22 miles/ride. Last year it took us 100 rides to get to 2000 miles, and we didn't reach that number until the end of September. Since we are leaving this year for our annual road trip about 4 weeks earlier than last year, we are quite pleased that we could accomplish our goal before we left.
We still have some more miles to tack onto our total. But, today we are celebrating!
Here is Jules three days ago coming in to the Tour de Whidbey finish line after riding 100 miles.
He came over with Jessica, Ian, and Adam to celebrate his birthday!!!
