Day 14- Eureka Again

Rest Day Eureka, WA

When we got to our room last evening, I could only focus on how tired I was and wonder if a days rest would cure the fatigue. We showered and basically dropped into bed. I was asleep while Jon wrote the blog. Yet today we feel much better and can envision our ride tomorrow. 

Here what a rest day looks like! Our motel room looks like our bikes barfed up all their contents. We air out sleeping bags & tent. We sleep in and then lay around… actually we are on our phones a lot today. Then we head to the laundry mat to wash our very dirty clothes. We have coffee & cocoa at a local place. We go to two stores looking for very specific things. Then we go to the car wash & clean the grunge from our bikes. Then brunch 😊.

Fun facts learned on the road: people are really kind & curious. The three common questions are, where are you going?/where did you start? Are you crazy? And, what is in your glasses? (It is a built in mirror.) People who are cyclists ask the first question, skip the second question & go right to asking about gear. The next question is, does your butt hurt & have you had any mechanical issues? YES, to the last two questions, therefore we need a rest day. 

We will be hitting the road early to beat the heat and hopefully arrive at Whitefish early afternoon tomorrow. Stay tuned…
