Peninsula bicyclists tell of Himalayan trek Pair to present stories of biking through India BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Two North Olympic Peninsula residents will share photographs and tales from a 760-mile bicycle trip through the Himalayas
at a presentation tonight. “We have tons of pictures and have sorted them down to about 100 that we will show,” said David McCulloch, who with Jon Muellner made the five-week trip in September and October. “It’s an interesting territory,” he said. “We will show slides from some of the places we visited.” The free presentation will begin at 7 p.m. at Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 2333 San Juan Ave. “I can’t guarantee brevity,” Muellner said of the presenta-
tion. “But we’ll try to be informative and moderately amusing.” McCulloch, 63, is a co-owner of Elevated Ice Cream in Port Townsend with his wife, Julie. Muellner, 55, is a Web designer who owns and operates www.PTguide.com, a calendar website. Muellner recently moved to Port Angeles after 20 years in Port Townsend “because I wanted to be closer to the mountains and the rivers.” TURN
