Margaret and her sister, Nancy, drove me from Phoenix to San Diego this morning. They are staying the night in San Diego so they can see me start the ride at the Pacific Ocean in the morning.
I’m staying with the ride group tonight at the SameSun hostel. Two sets of bunks in a small room. I got assigned an upper bunk…great…I might enjoy my tent more tomorrow.
We had our orientation meeting this afternoon, ate a meal cooked by our tour leaders (rice, sautéed veggies, and chicken), and discussed the route we are taking tomorrow. So far so good. We start riding tomorrow morning at 8:30. I still have 3080 miles to go!
I started to get to know the other riders just a little bit. More to come on that, but I wanted to note that Felix lives in Scotland and came the farthest to ride this tour.
The biggest challenge for the group was trying to get everyone’s phone contacts as seen below.
