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.

I got passed by maybe 3 recumbents. Got passed by lots of tandems. Not even the faired 'bents were able to keep pace, and I wasn't driving /that/ hard. Averaged 17.0 mph over the two days (not including rests). I was actually rather surprised.

That is pretty impressive, over 200.. 210, is it? miles.

I must attempt it one of these days.

210 is my personal distance, since I had 6 miles to bike before even getting to the start line.
