We took a train to Spokane and biked back to Everett via Grand Coulee Dam and Twisp, with the goal to end at Downtown Banya (but they were closed!).
There are some notes from the past on [[Bike tour/Sep 2017]]


The map is [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/25237312 here]. Mostly flat but there is one big pass (Washington Pass) and one smaller pass (Rainy Pass). Super pretty ride. We'll amend the route into Everett as it is quite steep towards the end.
==Packing List==
=== Pick Up ===


=To Remember=
* [Day 0: Seattle] $150 cash from ATM
* [Day 0: Seattle] burritos from Bang Bang Kitchen
* [Day 0: Seattle] breakfast at Biscuit Bitch
* [Day 2: Post Crater Lake] Eggs!
* [Day 3: Oakridge] Eggs!

=== Mako ===
* Mako took a wrong helmet.
* We had just about the right amount of food.
* Mako got a bulging bump on his tire.
* We got some free wood lefovers at some campsites.
* Although the official park site said no water, we had water at Goodall Campground. We also saw lots of salmon!
* No store between Mazama and Newhalem. The general store in Newhalem closes exactly at 5PM.
* Some logging trucks.
* There were some parts where we had no shoulder from Darrington to Arlington.
* The side road from Marblemount towards Darrington was one of the best roads we've taken. We saw 3 cars during this hour-long ride.
* No store between Marblemount and Darrington.
* Downtown Banya was closed for 2 days!
* Grand Coulee Dam tours every 2 hours but the tour starts on the other side of the water from the visitor center. We missed the tour but we got to see some good movies about the dam (played at request before 3PM).
