Uneventful day of riding through scenic farmland in Abbotsford, border crossing near Blaine, WA, and unexpectedly light traffic in Seattle.
The bikes were much happier on the interstate and the ride was almost completely anxiety-free. There was a time-consuming detour in Portland when I got turned around at a gas stop. Dinner at the Hop Valley Brewing Co. once again. One weird thing about Oregon is they don't let you pump your own gas. By law all gas stations have attendants who are required to operate the pumps.
I think that's a good thing. It gives jobs to people who want to pump gas. There are people who actually like to have their gas pumped for them and their windows washed.
