Today's post will be short. I'll be meeting Deb and Tim in a few minutes to go hear a welcoming address by the Whitman College president followed by a fried chicken dinner. All of it is outside and informal - definitely my kind of place. It will give me a great opportunity to see the campus and learn more about the college. I should get to see granddaughter Sarah during the dinner and may even get a look at her dorm room. The coincidence of me arriving in Walla Wallla by bicycle the day Sarah begins her Whitman College experience is really quite amazing.
Today's 90 mile ride was the best of the trip so far. We were on lightly traveled roads with good shoulders almost the entire way. The area is primarily agricultural with many wheat fields and the occasional corn field. The Walla Walla area is known for its wines (and onions) and we saw many vineyards as we pedaled into the outskirts of town.
Craig and I rode together most of the day at a moderate pace that left me with plenty of "fuel in the tank" for tomorrow's 99 mile ride to Lewiston Idaho.

I can not imagine doing 90+ miles rides, day after day. How many miles a week are you averaging?
