Some of my RAGBRAI friends want to do a week-long bike tour across Washington state in June, east to west. Starting somewhere around Couer d'Alene (one of the guys has family in CdA) and ending west of Seattle (one of the guys lives near Port Angeles). Our initial thought is to ride north around Spokane then down to hit the Grand Coulee Dam and then head north to Hwy 20 and ride that across the Cascades. But we are really just starting to think about routes. I figured there might be some ST'ers in Washington that could help...
We plan on being self-contained, camping most nights but probably hitting a hotel for a night or two during the week.
Any Washington folks have thoughts on this? Is Hwy 20 going to be somewhat bike friendly? We're kinda shooting from the hip on this, the guy in Port Angeles just moved out there and doesn't have a great feel for routes yet.
