Apparently today was supposed to be a pretty much no-biking day, we were just going to set ourselves up, hit up the REI and the grocery store for supplies, and then go to sleep at the hostel and get ready for tomorrow. Well we DID do a lot of biking, so I'm going to call it Day 1, ok? Cool, so everybody got settled into their bikes today and dealt with some packing and riding issues. My spokes tried to eat my saddlebags, every single spoke on Sam's back wheel spontaneously loosened making it pretty wobbly, and James' derailleur was actin a fool and he also bounced one of his saddlebags off his bike in the middle of an intersection. It was a good start overall though and went relatively smoothly, and nobody is dead yet. The real world took a surprise blow from us today, and she has no idea what she has in store for her!
Tomorrow will be a solid 90 mile ride to Bellingham, WA, where we will aggresively pursue the fame and fortune initiative.
