The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

Omak

Today we tackled "The Loup" otherwise known as Loup Loup pass. In
some ways this was tougher than yesterday. The climb was 12 miles and
relentlessly uphill. No breaks. We knew it was steep when we looked
back down a straight strech and could not see beyond a 100 yards of
the .5 mile section just finished.

After getting to Okanogan we decided to press on for Omak. Here we
stop. We are going to take a rest day tomorrow and only ride 26 miles
to Tonasket.
