Greetings From Wenatchee!

Hey everyone, and greetings from the beautiful city of Wenatchee, WA! After leaving our lodging from the town of Skykomish, WA(Population about 200), we are now about 140 miles into our cycling, and everything is going wonderfully. The rides are amazing, and the sights that we are able to see while riding are even better! You would not imagaine the scenery out here, and how beautiful the mountains, rivers, and green blankets of trees are.

It's a good thing that there is so much beautiful scenery though, because if there wasn't, we might actually focus on how much pain our legs are in. We have definately had some rough hills, and tough climes. The good news today ,however, was that after we had our big 20 mile clime up Stevens Pass to a 4000 mile elevation, we basically had a relaxing decent for 30 miles. After a couple close calls, and losing one water bottle over the side of a mountain while cycling, we finally made it to our destination, and the Wenatchee Community Center was nice enough to let us set up camp inside of there building. Showers were great, and we're all ready for our Friendship visit later tonight!

I'm going to try to get some rest now, before we have to leave. Thanks for checking my blog again. I'll keep them coming. I almost have more to talk about than I am actually able to blog.
