Day 1---A buch of really scared people

2009-05-09

I'm pleased to report that after day one I am feeling fine. No new sore muscles and no real fatigue. Of course we didn't ride today either. Bike assembly and orientation.
I've always said that there is a fine line between a hobby and mental illness. This seems like a fine group with which to step over that line. Twenty+ riders, some very fit, others in my category. Many have ridden across the country multiple times.
It should be interesting. LA to Riverside tomorrow. 79 miles.

Hey Dad - Having a great time in Phoenix this weekend. It was a cool 102 yesterday... was exhausted after 2 hours sitting poolside in this heat. Enjoy the desert stages! Sent 2009-05-10 from Anna

I'll call Michigania to tell them you will need a golf cart to get around camp this summer. Be safe! Sent 2009-05-10 from Sharon
