Mike Mike Motorbike (Michael Valeri) released this wonderful video last week documenting a bike trip he and his friend Nick took from Seattle to Spokane over the summer. Our state is really something.

They stuck mostly to the Palouse to Cascades Trail, though road riding is still required for many sections. The reconstructed Beverly Bridge opened this spring, which filled one of the worst gaps in the whole statewide trail. As you can see in the video, there are still some rather rugged sections. The Palouse-to-Cascades Trail Coalition has guides to help you prepare, including detour maps, options for camping and services along the way.
