San Juan Islands Bike Tour-Orcas and Return

September, 2007


After a rainy ride across Orcas, we pulled into Doe Bay at dusk.







"No, no....we aren't lost in the woods!" The start of the climb up Mt. Constitution.







There were some huge old growth trees up in Moran State Park.







The highest point from which we got a view out through the trees.







After our climbs, we settled right back into our chairs at Doe Bay for reading, conversation, and taking in the view.







The aforementioned view.







A gratifying way to end the day.














Rainy morning climb back over Moran.







Powered by breakfast at Olga Cafe!







Diminishing clouds and a brisk crosswind at Eastsound.














Note the trees and flags in the background.







The blackberry stretch.







Country road.







Chatting with other cyclists on the ferry.







Cold and happy.







Back over Deception Pass.







Stopped near Eaby's Landing, looking across towards Port Townsend.







Echoes of a Japanese woodblock print.














Final miles of the trip.
