Zero Day

Today is Zero Day. With people arriving all day. Bike reassembly and inspection going on pretty much constantly. In the picture below Jim the official mechanic and Frank who works in a bike shop confer on a bike's set up. Scott, Bill, Frank and I went on a ride of about 30 miles on the Pacific Coast Highway. We had our introduction meeting this afternoon with all aspects of the ride being discussed. I feel we got a good sense of what to expect and what was expected of us. All the safety issues we will face. The routines for loading up in the morning. We got the route sheet for tomorrow and there is going to be a lot of careful navigating to be done. Everybody got to introduce themselves to the group. There will be 30 doing the full ride, 2 going part of the way and 4 staff. In the morning we will be off in earnest to see the US from the seat of a bicycle.
