In Davenport we met up with another cross-country riding group. There were 3 groups leaving Seattle about the same time. I think we'll pass them all because we have a little more aggresive schedule than the rest. This group was going farther than us and would end up in Vermont.
After Davenport we caught a little tailwind and flew up a 9 mile incline at 18 mph. I'd really been tanking the fluids and I was starting to recover. When we got to Reardon we had a quick lunch of leftover from last night's dinner. The final leg to Spokane was fast except I slowed to help another rider with a slow tire leak. He didn't wanted to change tubes and I pumped him up 3 times over the last 10 miles. We got to Spokane just in time to help unload the truck again. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Today's ride was 77 miles and I averaged 14.5 mph. It's hard to believe that we're 10 percent done with the ride and we haven't left Washington yet. Tomorrow is a rest day and my son Casey is coming to visit. I'm really looking forward to seeing him.
