Today reminded me a lot of my tour last year, cycling down long quiet backcountry roads through farmland and rural houses. After waking up to a clear sky the clouds blew over and I got rained on for the second time having to bike in my waterproofs. Also like last time once the rain passed in the afternoon the wind picked up, this time it was mostly favorable though.

I spent most of the day following the Chehalis River, which meant a mostly flat day of cycling. Tonight is the first night I’m not camped beside the ocean. Tomorrow I’ll cycle down to the Columbia River, which separates Washington and Oregon.
