Ok, we ride at 6:45. Nonetheless, this is it. We've met as a group (~1/3 guys who just retired, ~1/4 international from Holland, England, Ireland, Australia and Trinidad, then an odd assortment of people who can get the time off from work and afford the trip.). (One woman couldn't get the time off, so got herself fired!) All in all it's a nice friendly, athletic looking, group.
We had our first "ride rap" (each night's overview of the next day's ride). On day 1, we'll ride 80 miles with 4,080 feet of climb and 63 turns. At one point, we have to dismount and climb under a fence! (I'm not kidding.) Small price to pay for dipping our back wheel in the Pacific and bicycling across the Golden Gate Bridge. Odd factoid- tomorrow is also the start of AIDSlifeCycle7 (a.k.a. the California AIDS ride) which goes from San Francisco to LA. I did this ride in 2006. It will be 3.000 of them moving south and 40 of us moving north....
