We rode the Galloping Goose trail from Victoria to Sooke and back.It's mainly hard packed dirt with some lightly gravelled sections. Lots of road crossings some of which are quiet dangerous. I remembered from last time that the trail ends at a campsite with no water and we came close to running out. This time I planned on shopping at a store but when we got there it had gone and had to backtracked to a Shell station to get food and water. They had a picnic table outside we could eat at. They had real English smarties which were a real treat for me.
On the way out we ran into some workers doing preventative maintenance on the trail. One of them offered us donuts. I was starving and snagged one. It was delicious. That was pretty cool.

We got to the ferry two hours early so we locked our bikes up outside (in case of bombs) and went into Victoria to buy some gelato and socks.
We got to Port Angeles around 5:30 and then through immigration. There is a bike path from Port Angeles to Sequim that is awesome although there are some very steep hills on it that are particularly tough with baggage on the bike. Most of it is flat, well paved, and has a tailwind. All of it has spectacular views of either the ocean or the mountains.

Arrived in Sequim (pronounced SQUIM) around 7pm at Econolodge, did laundry, showered, and ordered Domino's.
Rode 74 miles, another border crossing, another ferry ride.
