Well, not exactly the next stop. I still have 358 miles to go over the next 38 days, so there will be many stops before I reach Seattle, but I am now through Spokane, WA. That was the last location that I listed as a stop on my route before my final destination. Just a few days ago I crossed the border from Montana into Washington, which will likely be the last state that I ride through on my trip. I think that makes for a grand total of 13 states, which is actually fewer than I would have guessed I would pass through on a cross country trip.

Real Life: My pace has been touch and go, but I've tried to pretty much stick to a 10 mile per day average. I've lost a few miles from cushion, so I feel like I'm definitely in danger territory with a baby on the way any day now. It's also getting harder to motivate myself to just go for a ride on the weekend if I don't have an actual destination as it starts to get colder, but I'm not giving up!
Mileage update: 3,276.9 miles down, 358.5 to go. 20 miles ahead of target pace.
