days 1-4

Since the start of the ride I havent gotten a chance to update on my blog and keep you guys posted very well, but everything is so busy of course. but i will try to do better. so here is a recap of the last 4 days.....

the start of the ride in seattle. (im up front in the white jacket)

just a pretty lake and if you look closely in the background you can see some beautiful snowcapped mountains in the distance.

we stopped for a potty break (we got lucky there were porta johns) and took some pics while we were at it.

this is a local little restaurant near one of our campsights where the man that owned it made us a wonderful dinner and breakfast the next day!!

My best ridin buds, Patty, Kevin, and James.

snoqualmie falls. that was worth the huge mountain we had to climb to get to it.

ya see those mountains...pretty hugh??haha

a cute little farm somewhere in washington, (sorry my logistics are bad)

The Columbia river on the left. A road on the right....uphill

somehow we went from beautiful mountains to desert......

to rolling hills and farms

We are staying in the dorms at Gonzaga University tonight and tomorrow night... Yaaaa...no tent setting up!!!

Im on my front porch!!

Me and Cliff. we define the age brackets for big ride 08

We have ridden for four days. monday-90miles tuesday-73 wendsday-84 and today 78. (if i remember correctly). It has been so amazing this past week and although I am so glad we have a rest day tomorrow (with a real bed) I am also excited about getting out there again to see more beautiful america and have more interesting and sometimes just crazy conversation. other than the sunburnes, achy muscles (which is what asprin is for) and missing my family and matt so so badly I am doing good. I also want to thank all of my sponsors again for providing me with this wonderful opportunity for this once in a lifetime adventure. well off to the dorms.....i actually get to sleep in past 5:00 Yaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
