The End of Day Two

We had another fantastic day on the roads of California! We had some great hill training about 30 miles prior to Sacramento and even some preparation for riding the flat terrain. We are still working out some kinks that are expected when a group of strangers come together and are asked to perform.
Dinner (pictured below) was prepared for us at a local Catholic Church. It was so amazing to see the amount of work and preparation these folks put into feeding us! It really tugs at your heart and makes me realize why we are doing this feat.
Tomorrow were doing some interviews for Fox and some local radio stations. It should be a good time but I'll be glad to get back on the road.

Good Morning Day 2

5 AM came very early today! My body isn't agreeing with my motivation but I was expecting that with the first week. I went outside to drop my bags off for our FANTASTIC young interns and got a taste of today's "chill factor." I can't wait to get riding because the more we ride the better trained we get and the less aches and pains we endure!
I forgot to mention I ate dinner with Jennifer Brusstar, CEO of the Tug McGraw Foundation, and she was telling me all about the wonderful work they are doing for individuals living with PTSD/TBI. I want to thank her for her donation to world team sports on my behalf. I hope to keep in close contact with her foundation for years to come!

Day # 1

Today was busy to say the least! We rode for 12 hours (7 of actual riding) and covered almost 80 miles of California. We started across the Golden Gate, headed through the country side with our tour guide Robin Williams, and ended in Napa Valley. It was chilly, windy, and rainy (at the end) but I had a blast! The folks I am riding with are such amazing people and I am so glad I have the opportunity to get to know them.
After a HOT shower, I am ready to hit the pillow!
