Day 56: Port Townsend, WA - Port Angeles, WA - 51 Miles - Sean Hankins

We were all amazed that today was our second to last day. It was also Hawaiian shirt day, a day where we all wear Hawaiian shirts while biking.

This morning we woke up to a light dew at 5:30. We are able to sleep in later today because we only have a bit over 45 miles planned. Once packed, we all went inside the local boy scout cabin and enjoyed some snacks that we bought the night before.

After our meal, we started a slow ride to a breakfast place about 39 miles away. The first 23 miles were on rolling hills that were hard to get over but you can get some speed on. The remaining miles were on a greenway in to Sequim.

Jeffery has some troubles with his bike on the road because his chain does not seem to fit his gears properly. This made it so he had to pedal constantly throughout the day. Breakfast was an amazing restaurant. They offered a variety of delicious foods. I was able to get an omelette and some extra thick bacon. Cole got apple pancakes that were OVER 3 INCHES THICK.

The remainder of our ride to our host’s house was relaxed and on the greenway. It had a couple of steep hills and also passed a local grocery store. We were able to find a lot of great dumplings and natural foods to enjoy before our final destination.

Our hosts were the Swanson family. Once we arrived at the Swansons, we were given a tour of the property. They had a portapotty and hose shower set up for us. In addition, they had watermelon and a playful dog waiting for us when we arrived. The dog played fetch with us for hours and had an amazing day as well.

We spent our night playing 3 on 3 basketball and sitting around a fire pit. This concluded our second the last day on a good note.
