11 hours and 106 miles later and I'm in Centralia.

Way more tandems than recumbents, which I don't get. Of the recumbents, over-seat-steering is far more popular than under-seat-steering, which I don't get either.

A partially faired, inline tandem recumbent tricycle with Ackerman steering is a damned fine sight.

Best 'bikes' seen today: a giant unicycle and a homemade adult Big Wheel.

Yeah, a couple things you need to remember:

1. That included maybe 90 minutes of rest breaks.
2. I was carrying 35 pounds of camping gear as a test of my bike-packing capabilities.
3. I am, actually, a rather slow biker, upright or 'bent.

Also see my reply to random.

That's a lot of gear, too.

When did you leave Seattle? We left at ~0615. Wondering if I passed you on my way to Centralia.

I had to bike down from north Seattle and had some technical problem with my rack, so I didn't get through the start line until 6:50. You were almost certainly ahead of me the entire way.
