In the summer of 2009 James Pilachowski, Sam Townsend, and Aaron Smith decided to protest their entry into the real world with a bike trip across America. This is their story.

Bellingham: On Point

After 86 grueling miles, with everything between urban sprawl to evergreen shaded country roads, we finally made it to Bellingham!! Verdict: It rules. We met my good buddy Pat and scored some balling burritos, ate some ridiculously delicious ice cream, and caught the sunset over the water. Now we're having our last night under a genuine roof for several weeks, and totally living the dream. Tomorrow we're off to Diablo on Highway 20 at the base of the Cascades. Getting ready for a 1500 foot climb followed by another 3 grand. Rage on protesters!
Note: People around Washington so far are really nice, even drivers. I'm curious to find the boundary between cars that give you room and cars that run you over. But not really. 

Edit by James: It's quite likely that we won't have internet access for a while, so don't worry if you don't see a post for a week or more.  We will continue to write entries and post them whenever we can
