So as I mentioned, our bikes were stolen this morning. The shock of helplessness of that is still a little too close to home, even though this morning seems like several days ago.

Luckily, my last WS host is absolutely amazing and is letting all three of us stay at her house for a couple of days so we have somewhere to sleep.

The current plan is to source some second hand bikes in Seattle and continue on with the trip regardless. After all, people have done longer rides on worse bikes. Right? It's all an adventure?

I'm not sure, but giving up now would be worse. So far, we've managed to acquire one bike off Craigslist, and hopefully tomorrow will yield two more. But that's only the barest summary of today's rollercoaster.
