Day 4 - Belfair State Park 118km

Day 4 Route
The guys report that they had a gorgeous, sunny day of cycling in temperatures in the low 20C - certainly a pleasant change from the previous chilly day.  A look at a Google map will show that they were riding through some rather undulating terrain and Gary's description of the ride being very hilly with some 'serious' hills periodically would confirm that (apparently getting out of Bremerton was quite a challenge but the discovery of the Diner below might have had something to do with that). Today's ride took them through Port Ludlow, across Paradise Bay to Hood Canal, Silverdale, Bremerton, Belfair to Belfair State Park for their first camping night.

But the day was not all slogging as they rode through forests of majestic trees that seemed to reach for the sky accompanied by all the sights and sounds that nature provides. 

Big Apple Diner
A highlight of the day though does seem to be coming across a Stirling's-like diner called the Big Apple Diner in Bremerton that not only had great food but was a flashback to the 60's diners of their youth. Fuel and memories, what more is there in life?

Wonder who chose these deserts?
