Preparation in LA

Everyone arrived in LA safe and sound, although thanks to a few minor flight delays, a little later than expected. The morning has been full of preparation as we unpack and reassemble the bikes. Daniel and Michael made the initial grocery run. Looks like we have plenty of chips!!

We will be leaving the convention around 6PM tonight (7/17). All of us will be riding as we pull out to a large send off organized by ERD. The riding schedule has been established for the first couple of days. We have 6 riders (and will pick up 2 more near Vegas) that will be broken into 3 teams of 2 riders each. Carl Petterson and I make up one of the teams and have already been designated as the mountain climbing team.

Our first shift will be from midnight to 6AM which is a blessing since we will miss the heat of the day. The temperatures here in Anaheim were in the low 90s today with light winds. But we will be heading into the dessert and facing temperatures over 100 for the next several days.
