Mike Merikle, first day, pic is not of Mike

Just a quick note to mark the fact I left oak harbor and started east. The pass I had to wait for will open this Friday, about the same time I get there our maybe a day before.
Mike is an old shipmate of my father in law. He spends just about every day riding around Whidbey island. Chip told me to look out for him and I saw him on my test ride yesterday. We chatted briefly and he gave more some encouraging words to ride with. Considering he is probably 75 and is still riding, A LOT, he probably knows what he is talking about.
The picture is of Washington's state mascot, the slug. It was making high speed toward my shoe before I started my ride yesterday and given I am only taking one picture per day this is the one you get. Today's picture is of me riding across Deception Pass bridge. A very normal and boring selfy so I will not share it. Everyone who did this ride has that picture. It looks like me, riding across a bridge. Use your imagination if need be. I was clothed so try not to imagine it otherwise.
