Rode from Bellingham to Victoria today. Birch Bay was as lovely as usual. We snagged some coffee at one of the many coffee huts dotted around WA and OR.

| Drinking coffee at the small coffee huts was always fun. |
We ate pizza in Birch Bay and then went over the border at the Peace Arch. Weather was cool but dry.
Mud Bay and Boundary Bay bike paths are pretty but quite gravelly for narrow tires.
We didn't have time for gelato at the Twassen ferry terminal because it took 10 minutes to pay for the tickets :-( Several other cyclists were on the ferry too including a self-supporting, ragged teenager who kept joking he was going to steal our stuff. Kept a close eye on him.
Rode to Victoria on the Lochside trail. It's mainly paved with some easy unpaved sections. It's hard to follow though - each intersecton we had to stop and locate the next section of the trail.

Nice Super8 motel. This was originally a fairly high-end hotel that ended up as part of the Super8 chain. It's close to the bike path so there's only about a mile of downtown riding required to get there.
Rode about 88 miles today. One border crossing, one ferry ride.
