The Best Bike Shop...EVER, The Ferry and First Day Camping, - July 20th Day 3 (25.1 miles)

SEATTLE, WA, - BREMERTON. WA, - TWANOH STATE PARK, WA

After the previous days equipment failure, we started the day with a trip into town to a local bike shop, ran by Bill Davidson, the father of Blake Davidson from the Seattle Rugby Club. Elliot Bay Bicycles is an incredible bike shop and well worth a visit for all tourists and bike afficionados. A true shrine to bikes they sorted Woody's bike in minutes and were full of helpful advice, inculding a recommended route to Aberdeen for the following day.

After fixing up the bikes we said goodbye to Seattle, and boarded the ferry across to Bremerton. From their we had a leisurely ride to Tawanoh State Park for our first day camping.
