After a good night's rest in Vallejo we got up early, loaded the bikes on the van and headed across the bay to the Golden Gate Bridge. We decided last night to add an extra 1.7 miles to the route so the guys could bike across the bridge from north to south and then hit the first leg of the route, which begins at the south end of the Golden Gate. We took some photos for Flag Day on the north side, and then they headed out.
By 1:00 PM they had crossed San Francisco, boarded the ferry, and reached Vallejo where the temperature was 30 degrees hotter than at the bridge. Ouch! At 6:00 PM Davis was within their sights. They're still shooting for Sacramento, but the mercury's over 100 further inland, so we'll wait and see.
Update: The final finish line was Winters, CA, about ten miles west of Davis. Temperatures over 100 took their toll and it was after dark by the time the guys reached Winters.

Hope Patrick recovered from his "condition" today-
(Forget the Pepto- reach for the Immodium AD!!)
Great to see the guys finally en route.
Good Luck from jolly old England. I hope it has cooled off some and everyone is doing good. I like the bike repairs in the hotel room, very cool.
