20MayDiscoveryBayA bit more riding today. Particularly for I and the David’s who added a few extra kilometers with a scenic route. We left our campground on the outskirts of Sequim and tried to pick up the Olympic Discovery Trail again. Unfortunately the bridge over the Dungeness was out and we had to backtrack and ride the 101 for a 20MayHoodCanalWetlandswhile. We were able to pick it up on the other side of Sequim and follow it to Discovery Bay.

 

We followed a mixture of back roads and 101 to our lunch stop in Quilcene. After lunch (and a full stomach) we did the biggest climb of the day. I topped out at about 240 meters at 5-6% prevailing grade. It was a really nice and fast descent into Dosewallips.

The camp tonight is very nice. Last night we had a lot of traffic noise. There won’t be any of that here. On the down side the cell phone coverage is slim to non-existent. There is worse things to loose the network connectivity, but it has delayed me getting my blog post done.
