Day 1 - The Gathering

It's Saturday, the day before we leave on our ride.  I drove up to the hotel in el Segundo and picked up Willie, Peter, Mike J, and Tom for breakfast.  Ira rode his bike from home and Karen brought Harry in her car.  It was just like old home week - lots of laughter and tales - hard to believe it was eight years ago that we first met each other.  It was wonderful seeing everyone.  I'm so glad Mike J, Ira, and Karen were able to see us off.

Today's schedule:

Bicycle Pick-up
Orientation Meeting
SAG (support and gear) Orientation
Dinner
Early to bed for tomorrow we ride!


Willie, Ira, Tom, Harry, Karen, Mike J, and Peter


Everyone "helping" Ira unlock his bicycle.

  1. As I write this you'll are on your way through the streets of LA and I wish you well (understatement). I look forward to following your blog and living your adventure vicariously. Any thought of providing us home-bound folks with some of the other blog addresses? Bob
