And we're off!

Another great day out here in SF! We had a busy day with our final preparations before we shove off at 7 AM. We had a great banquet with good food and speakers. To our surprise, Robin Williams showed up and stayed for dinner! He's a super nice guy and will be joining us for our first leg of the journey!

Today we headed over to SF Bay near the Golden Gate for a wheel dipping ceremony. We are planning on dipping our rear wheels in the Pacific and our front wheels in the Atlantic.

Amazing

My official day one was amazing! It was a day to really get to know the riders and talk about our experiences overseas. I'm looking forward to getting to know these people even better over the next few months.
As you can see below, we did some sightseeing around SF. The highlight was Alcatraz! I'll see if I can get a good pic tomorrow.

Giant palms in our courtyard. I've never seen palms this tall!
