I've started my cross country adventure, now WA is in the rear view mirror

Cape Flattery to Discovery Bay to Port Townsend ferry to Coupeville to Mt Vernon to Marblemount over Rainey Pass and Washington Pass to Winthrop over Loup Loup Pass to Tonasket then over Sherman Pass to Colville then over an unnamed high point to get to Tiger turn north to Ione and then head south along the Pend Oriell River to Newport.    There's more detail on my CrazyGuyOnABike webpage:  at http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/XCONUS hope to see you there.  It has the advantage of easier posting of updates by text, email and adding photos, too. 
Today is my first rest day, staying with a friend in Spokane, WA, about 60 miles off my route from Newport.

Content may be a bit slow for awhile

I've decided to use the CrazyGuyOnABike website for journaling my cross CONUS bike ride that should now start in 8 days.  I'll link to it on this site, as it gets closer.  Making preparations by assembling and buying some spare parts (tires, cables, brake pads, etc.)
