Today, I'm tired and ready for bed, so I'm just going to note the bullet points of the first day's ride:

Finished some errands
Went to breakfast
Started biking late
Couldn't find a beach closer than a 20 miles out and back, so we "dipped" the wheels off a dock (we're flexible)
Had beautiful quiet roads for 95% of ride
Rode 64ish miles
Made too many stops
Climbed almost 3k feet
Over 95° for parts
Sarah and Isabel killed it
Anna and I could not keep up
I barely made it into town
Some of us had tacos, again!

Sleep well all, or wake happy east coasters!

Congrats on getting the ride kicked off. The first days are the toughest because...well, how can you possibly properly train for a trip of this magnitude? But, with all of the trip planning done, all you have to concentrate on now is pedaling. And btw, 64ish miles is a pretty solid first day. I would say you all crushed it! 1 day down, 59 (ish) to go.

Anna must be slacking off? Can't be the old man.
Sounds like a great start you guys. Stay Safe and look out for Sasquatch.

Awesome job, gang! Keep it up!

And again, we need to know what kind of tacos.
