Sorry about the lack of updates over the past couple days - if anyone is interested in learning how to reduce the amount of time they spend on a computer, all you have to do is ride your bike all day!
Anyhow, I started what will be the most cycling I've ever done in a nine-day period two days at 6 am from downtown Ellensburg. I had a warm receptive from some close family and friends and Kyle's dad accompanied me to Vantage. There was a Dave Matthew's Band concert that day but luckily most of the people going to that concert don't usually wake up by the time I got in the area! From I went through familiar territory - my father is a horticulturalist in the Quincy Valley - and I made my first stop in Soap Lake. I soaked in the lake for a bit and stopped at a roadside burger joint for lunch though we would have much preferred to eat at Mom's - a small Ukrainian grocery and deli in downtown Soap Lake. The ride through the scenic Coulee Corridor was largely uneventful though I made sure to stay clear of the motorcyclists going 140 mph! My parents Norbert and Julie Owart joined us in Grand Coulee where we had a nice dinner before camping on the south side of Lake Roosevelt.
