Still here


It's Sunday and I'm staying another night at Quinalt. This place is just too amazing to leave. Heather came up yesterday and Sarah and Jeff will be here in about two hours. This is the best bike tour ever. The Hoh rain forest is bordering the backside of Quinalt and it's incredible. Heather and I took a drive around the thirty mile loop yesterday and decided that some hiking was in order. Waterfalls and lush, vibrant greens are everywhere. After our hike we're going out on the resort owners boat, whom we made friends with last night. Very cool guy. We had a huge bonfire on the beach with a few of his buddies. Chillin', drinkin', talkin'. I mean this guy definitely has his life figured out. Tomorrow I'll start again but with a fully recharged battery, muscles repaired and hopefully my tent patched up. The first day I got here I spent some time tuning up my bike and realized that at some point the brake caliper had shifted over and was rubbing the rotor constantly. That means I was pedaling against my own brakes for who knows how long. What a soldier...
