With the wedding settling into those left who were going to stay for the Bon fire party, we rode away. The 20 miles to South Whidbey State Park was a nice way to end an exciting day of emotion. As we were peddling up the in front of the world headquarters of The Midnight Kitchen catering company, a twang from the rear wheel told me I had busted another spoke. I nursed it along until we got to camp where repairs would be easier.
The hilly 36 miles to Deception Pass State Park was filled with many wonderful people. We met Tom as waited at the noisy intersection of 525 and 20 to make sure that we took 20 to Coupeville. Tom was once the owner of a bicycle shop in the Bay View area where our friends David and Melinda have theirs today.
Then as we were entering Coupville and looking for a place for lunch, a young family on bikes was coming the other direction. We takes about bikes with the two boys then asked for a suggestion for a place to get a sandwich. The led us to Ciao, an Itallian sandwich shop. As soon as we pulled up a woman approached us and invited us to eat with them. Paul and Sonia were in town to get their wedding license and we talked bicycling and other chit chat.
We had seen a lone rider in Coupeville coming from the ferry, but didn't see her again until we pulled into our camp at Deception Pass. Roxanne....more tomorrow.
