The Day Before



We loaded up the SAG vehicle as tight as could be this morning with food, maps, bike equipment and a million other things and then drove up to the Bay area.

We have checked in to a hotel since campgrounds and RV parks are sparse around San Francisco. It will also provide for a final good night's sleep before starting the 3,700 mile trek to Yorktown, Va. tomorrow. Pat and Sean are making some final tweaks to their bikes as you can see. Yes, inside the hotel room, but don't tell anybody! We'll kick off early in the morning at the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Pat & Sean will ride south across the bridge, make their way across San Francisco to the docks, and then hop the ferry to Vallejo. From Vallejo, they will proceed east winding through country roads and bike paths with Sacramento being the final destination. . Chris will shadow in the SAG vehicle, hook up with them for lunch, and then drive ahead to Lake Folsom State Park. Wish us luck!

God's Speed to the King's Of The Road, The Pedaler's Of The Pavement.

Chris, I believe you are the smart one here. Driving in the cool air conditioned van. Able to pickup any groupies for interesting conversation along the way.
Say hello to Patrick and good luck.
