Biking on Orcas Island

Big weekend for us. Grandma Bridget is in town and Sky's friend Nicola had a wedding on Orcas Island. The last time we went to Orcas, it took us about eight hours of waiting in line for the ferry before we could leave. Tis timewe thought we would take our bikes over - no waiting!
Note, we're not really bikers. In any way. So our decision to bike from Orcas Village to East Sound, about ten miles of up-and-down each way, was perhaps a little ambitious.
But not too ambitious!





We had a lot of fun on the trip. Peregrine had a blast riding in his iBert (on my handlebars) and bike trailer. He also had a nice time at the beach and watching the ferry in and out of the wharf from our room.






We all had a very nice ride that was suitably exhausting.

On the way home, we picked up our new puppy, Pogo! He's a rescue, los mostly beagle, and very sweet.





Twenty miles of biking for us rookies left us all a bit sore, but happy. I think we were all proud of ourselves for making the journey. Special thanks to Loren for sourcing a couple extra bikes for us, and his roommates for sharing their bikes!
