Anacortes, WA to Coupeville, WA<!-- --> | <!-- -->Greg & Camille Go Bike

July 26th, 2023

Greg got up too early and started working. Thank The Market for coffee. We worked until check-out, did our best to clean off our mess from the rain, and then hustled over to the library to finish out the work day just a few blocks away.

The library wasn't too busy but patrons were putting it to use. Camille was hoping to hop on some of her meetings outside, but the prime real estate with wifi access and seating was occupied by an overeager teenage couple. Luckily there were study rooms available, so she was able to take a few meetings there.

We rolled out of the area around 2:40 pm PT/5:40 pm ET

Views of the water and mountains all around. Speaking of mountains, climbing. Mt. Eerie towered over us. Deception Pass with narrow shoulder and windy roads. Snacks by the lake & Flybrary. Pictures before the bridge & island hook. Some people camping on the beach! Lots of families enjoying the outdoors.

Route 20, farmland, Farm Stand market with grass volleyball court. Jets flying overhead, route around navy base. Get to skip all the traffic, heck yeah. Downhill to the coast: views of the ocean on one side, lake with windsurfer on the other. So blue! Can see the cliffs. Steep hill to climb back up, more farmland.

Cove cruising, lovely views. Residential area, good enough shoulder, low traffic. Approach Coupeville, cute town, lots of local shops. Check in at Tyee Restaurant & Motel, fairly busy at the restaurant. Groceries for dinner from market across the street.
