We all met today for our orientation. After a welcome from the Woman Tours president, Jackie Markham, we got down to business. Carol and Linda will be our staff members and highlighted a number of what to expect, schedules, etc.As the meeting went on, we all got more and more excited as if that was possible. All that is left is to click in and start riding tomorrow at 8. We will ride as a group to the beach on the Pacific Ocean, dip the rear wheel, Kodak moments galore and then we are off to Alpine, California. At 34 miles, it is not a long ride but with 2,000' of elevation gain, the combination of hills and distance are perfect for our first day.
Weather is expected to range from 55 to 72. Perfect for me.
There is a really steep hill about 2/3rds of the way to Alpine. It was the only place I had to get off and walk. If you have to do that, don't get discouraged. It is because you are on the first day. I did not have to do that again on the entire ride. By the end of the Southern Tier I was dreading the ending of our ride!! You go, girl! Rita Rowe

By the time you read this your first day of riding will be over - I hope it was everything you expected and wanted it to be.
