I originally intended on departing tomorrow morning from Bellingham, but my boyfriend and his sister were driving up to the border so I joined along. Now my trip will truly be "border to border."

I've biked to/from Peace Arch State Park many times, and today was not particularly different than previous trips. I am glad I decided to do this short jaunt, because in the process of doing so I made some adjustments to my bike fit and learned that I improperly routed my bike new bike chain. My knee is bothering me a bit, particularly the ligament on the outside of my leg behind my knee. Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I could adjust my bike fit to minimize inflammation?

I followed a more direct back to Bellingham, and thus can't comment on the more westerly route that the ACA takes. When I got back to Bellingham I visited the university bike shop and fixed my chain. I also saw the Mr. Rogers documentary and bawled my eyes out. All-in-all, it was an easy, swell first day on the road. Tomorrow the long days in the saddle commence!
