Day Zero-Lots Going On

Day zero was very busy.

Up early, or course, then get everything ready.  Out the house at 7:30 and on our way to Astoria.  Arrived around 9:30.  

Satish and I built our bikes, and we had to:

-  Finish up some paperwork.

-  Have the staff get the Garmins all set up.

-  Wwait for the mechanics to check out the bikes.  

Well, we finally got on the bikes about 12:30 in the afternoon.  Had a nice ride over to the beach, we dipped the wheel in the Pacific and had a nice ride back.  About 26 miles.

Then we had about three hours of orientation, some of it was a real yawner.  They took us to the Silver Salmon Grill for dinner.  Yelp had it rated at 3.5 stars; I concur.

Eighty miles tomorrow with a lot of climbing.  They said the first 10 days would be the toughest; then it was easy sailing.

Time for bed.
