This is the first official day of the Pacific Coast ride...well, we didn't ride today, but there were a lot of things to do to organize 34 riders.
In the morning Dave and I worked on getting my luggage organized, casting off non-essential things to get to the 50 lb limit. Dave took off for Minnesota, and I got to know my roomie for the night. Theresa is from Vadness Heights, MN!
There were orientation meetings, a demonstration on tips for changing flat tires, and an amazing buffet dinner!
It is early to bed tonight, getting up in time to load the luggage, eat breakfast at 6 am, and pump tires. We will then take the traditional group photo, and leave on our first day of riding!
