At orientation we were given our que sheets for the whole trip. Que sheets give you the mileage,

tell you where to turn and what to watch out for. Tracey who, I guess, owns the company ran the show. Tracey could be Nikki Kearns twin sister for those of you who know Nikki.

I sat next to Bill from Seattle. Bill manages a mutual fund the name of which I can't remember. (Barbara says I don't remember anything.) Laverne and Jani are from Lititz, Pa. They're the ones riding a tandem bike. Jani said she was a little bit apprehensive about the whole thing. Sandy and Stewart are from Ft Meyers. Sandy said there was no way she could ride on the same bike with Stewart. Michel, a guy, is from Quebec. He says his English will be much better by the end. He is tall and thin and I bet one of the strong riders. Those are the only ones I remember.

Tomorrow we dip our rear wheels in the Pacific and then we're off to Riverside. Last stop before the desert.
