8/28/22
Our trip by the numbers:
Days: 24
Build partners: 6
Miles: 800 (according to the cue sheets. Actual miles vary based on detours for coffee, seeing the largest spruce, aptitude for getting lost, and roadside bike failures—speaking of which…)
Flats André got on the first day of riding out of Portland: 5
Cranks that "decided they didn't want to be a part of the bike anymore" ( –Tori, first-hand witness): 3
Hills eaten for breakfast: I don't want to talk about it
Lunch creations eaten after said hills: many, many and perhaps overly creative
Hitchhikes: ⭐ 1 ⭐ (up a massive hill. Have I mentioned there are HILLS on this route?)
Blackberries consumed: thousands
Ferry rides: 4 beautiful sailings
Pre-dawn wake-ups, one of which was at 3 AM to catch said beautiful sailing: 18 😪😪
Dive and karaoke bars crashed: 5 (we’ll never forget you Nauti Mermaid)
Times someone peed their pants: 2 (just kidding. It's still up for debate whether Billy Gohl was the real culprit.)
'Squatches seen: we'll never tell
