Day 1 - Today went as planned: Pack the bike, clean the house, kiss the dog, and hit the road!
I left Seattle before noon so as to avoid rush hour on my way north. I made it all the way to Bellingham without getting rained on (undoubtedly because I was wearing my rain gear).
So now it's a leisurely evening in Bellingham for me. Coffee and a book at a local hipster (hipster is the new preppie) joint, then maybe a stroll downtown and dinner. Got to have the bike at the dealership at 9 am.
