Last Sunday, I took the express ferry from Port Angeles, WA to Victoria, BC to bike on the Galloping Goose Trail. I woke up at zero dark thirty and headed up with my bike on my new hitch rack (thanks dad!). I got to Canada about 9:30 am and had to do the whole customs thing, which only took a second, and I was off. After getting lost a few times while trying to find the trail and with a little help from some cute old Canadian guys, I was off! I ended up biking 52 miles total and made it back by 4:00 pm or so because I had to catch the ferry at 5:30 pm. I didn't take many pictures as it was the rainiest and wettest day I have ever experienced. I was a muddy disaster but it sparked lots of conversations on the ferry home. It is definitely a trip worth taking!
