Thanks for the great send-off yesterday! We left Golden Gardens with a nice crowd of frends and KOMO 4 News there to send us off. It was great riding out of town on the Burke-Gillman Trail with beautifully sunny skies and not much of a headwind.
Already, the calorie consumption has begun. Crackers, vacuum packed tuna steaks, much much more. And of course Nuun!!
I only expected us to get around 40 or 50 miles under our belt on the first day, but as it turned out we rode about 75.
We bedded down next to the beautiful Stillaguamish river right near a really cool abandoned railroad trestle. Karl and Don and I fished for a bit with Don's collapsable pole and I caught a nice sized little trout on my third cast! A great end to a long-awaited day.
Thanks to everybody who has been donating the last couple days!! The generosity we're seeing is awesome! We love getting the emails from everybody, keep 'em coming! All for now...

Hey Guys,
Matty told me that you left today. I can't believe you are on your way to the East Coast!! Mike and I live in Portsmouth New Hampshire which is on your way to Bar Harbor, so please know that I would love to have you all stay for the nite (or 2!). I can offer warm food, cold beer, and a comfy bed. Take care of yourselves...
Much Love
Wow, way to go, guys! I hope you brought at least one digital camera with you and are taking pictures along the way. I wish I could see what you guys are seeing and shooting it with my 3D camera. Please don't hesitate to email me through my website. Talk to you soon,
Phil
