Wowzer, wowzer…ok the mountains were mighty pretty but this riding through mighty hilly streets is….well…challenging!!! After three days of trying to maneuver a thousand pound bike with full packs up and down huge hills, narrow streets and lots of construction both girls hands are SORE!!!!These hills are a million times worse than anything in San Francisco and Biff tried making it even more challenging by note quite using that friction zone perfectly …she only killed it once through, and Sheri well she needed to make it more challenging too…she kept trying to start in 2nd gear!!!! What was that about!!!!!
The girl’s first stop was at Harley dealership in Fife WA. Interesting these WA state dealership not only have cool bikes and related stuff they also have coffee bars!!!! The sales people will sell you a nifty shirt and make you a yummy latte!! Ya, these pacific north westerns know their coffee and don’t go far without it. And Roadie decided she needed to keep up with the fashion trends of Pacific Northwest and she bought her very own fleece vest, complete with Harley Davidson written on it. So now Roadie is a fashionistia, as everyone in the northwest wears fleece and Birkenstocks with socks. Roadie was a bit miffed that they do not make Birkenstocks for dogs….
Then the girls were off in search of their first oddity of the day. They cruised into Tacoma in search of a huge latte cup tavern….but it was never to be found. And after maneuvering up and down hills they girls gave up but magically they did see a large red piano on top of a roof of a building!!!!
Off to the next dealership….well sort of……the girls spent oh an hour or so looking for the Pullayup dealership, up and down more f#*king hills. Man Bachman (the girl’s mechanic) better be ready to replace brakes and clutches after this trip. But where, oh where was this dealership. Finally, the girls pulled off at a drive through coffee stand with “Barista Babes,” hmmmm why do we not have those in CA…..While pulled over Sheri called the dealership, oh they closed and have combined stores with the dealership in Fife….you know the one where the girls already were!!
Back on the hiway they went, all the way down to Chehalis WA for a little lunch at the local Red Robin. And what to their wondering eyes did they see, the biggest most impressive roadside oddity of all times….Sheri dad!! Lester Kolb and his main squeeze Shirley were there in the parking lot in their fifth wheel waiting to greet the girls. Not only did the girls dine with Mr Kolb, also joining them were Sheri’s friends Leonard and Mary who live in Chehalis. Leonard did point out that Les was not just a roadside oddity … Les was a “roadside attitude.” LOL. Leonard and Mary also brought along friends who ere visiting them and their friends are from Woodland!!! What is the likihood of all these Californians all to be in Chehalis WA at the same time!!!
As they dined the girls whined about the disappointing roadside oddity finding today. Leonard and Mary saved the day and explained that in town there were very large painted chickens and a large egg!! Oh boy the girls could hardly contain their excitement….So off they went to see these six foot tall chickens and the “worlds largest egg!!!!” Now that was an oddity not to be missed!!! It was even worth it to have almost fallen into the center of the earth when Biff road over a huge…..hole in the road!!
That was so exciting the girls couldn’t ride much more and pulled over for an evening rest stop in Kelso WA.
