Headed over to Skagit Cycle to pick up a few bits and bobs for the bikes. Had a good chat with mechanic Andy about the local area and our route over the Cascades and out of Washington.Went down to the offices of the Anacortes American to see if they wanted to cover our story. Took a picture of us and said they would look at posting it to their blog. Would be cool if they did, first local news story.
Did a bit of sightseeing in Anacortes. First taste of Taco Bell. Burritos with chips - surprised when they handed us a bag of Doritos each. Went down to the local marina before heading back to the motel. Saw some nice yachts.
Good luck on your journey. I'm an Anacortes resident and they did put your story on the website. If you ever make it back to Anacortes, you should go to the Brown Lantern. Nice beer and food.

ReplyDeleteThanks Brad. Will bear that in mind next time we're in Anacortes, it really was a great place to start the trip!
