Seattle to Portland in a roundabout way, 500 miles in 8 days with my buddy Phil. Met [MENTION=114373]northbend[/MENTION] and [MENTION=135635]scozim[/MENTION] along the way, made some new friends, many from the world famous hardmen and women of the Seattle Randonneurs. Found out that Amtrak from Portland to Seattle with a bicycle is convenient, comfy, and quick. It was my first real trip ever into the state of Washington, beautiful country, seriously rideable - Ironhorse Trail, Yakima Canyon, White Pass, SR 26 and all the views, climbs, and descents.
