I rode my Bicycle to Bellingham via Friday Harbor

On Monday I rode from Olalla to Port Orchard for ferry rides to Seattle. I stayed at the Pendergrass house that night - just 21 miles that day. Tuesday I rode from the University of Washington part of Seattle to Anacortes/Friday Harbor - a 92 mile day. On Wednesday I rode from Friday Harbor/Anacortes to Bellingham... an upwind ride and very hilly near Bellingham - a 60 mile day.
