Day 2 of the RAW

Our ride around Washington was highlighted on day two with a 56.8 mile ride from Belfair to Alma.  It included some of the steepest hills I have ever climbed.  It was also very warm (mid 80's) but we met some of the friendliest people and some of the most rural roads.  We ended up in an RV park, which I was somewhat apprehensive about, but we had a shady spot on soft grass with showers, a laundromat, wifi and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies at our arrival.  A big plus was that we didn't have to get back on our bikes because there was excellent pizza delivered to our campsite.  All in all, a great day of cycling.  Howard proved to be an excellent partner and a strong rider.  One more day of fairly flat riding before ascending Mt. Rainier.
