Day one continued. We...

Day one continued. We saw some kite surfers towards the middle of the ride, maybe 20 or 30 miles in at a spot just before Santa Cruz. Also, count your lucky stars when your tent mate snores like a cat and not like a lumberjack. You will take far more pictures than you think you need or want or whatever(?) it take. So, bring extra batteries and memory. My bike is stored currently in the tattoo section. The bike parking people are gonna sell(?) the racks(?) by band names like Nirvana, Queen, The Beatles, National(?) Ballet(?), Blondie, Prince and several other well known organizations that produce music. So, they're really easy to remember and... listen

Day one highlights:...

Day one highlights: Sunday, June 1st, 2008, I met Speth(?), a ____ photographer from L.A., Korea(?) Town to be exact. This is her second AIDS(?) bicycle ride, and she's riding two hours faster compared to last year. I also met Robin, a Brit from LA, who's an actor/writer, and this is his first ride too. I saw some lovely rolling hills, farmland right next to the ocean, and cypress trees pretty close to San Fran. listen

On day 1, there were...

On day 1, there were 4 rest stops, some had badminton, others had bagpipes and all had massive lines to get food or use the porta-potty(?). Instead of riding at 7 A.M. and finished around 3 P.M. for 8 hours total of riding, I also met Eddy, member of Team Midnight Riders, who I haven't seen or met before because he hasn't been on many train rides. I also learned to pack only half of what you think you'll need and our Team Midnight Riders' jerseys are pretty awesome. You should stop at every restaurant and if you don't, you missed out on the best parts of the ride. listen

Day 1, camp news is...

Day 1, camp news is around 7:30pm each night and it's also an essential part of the ride. You get to listen to organizers of the ride talk about where the money is going, and also hear about what's coming up no the ride. You need to always get your tent set up as soon as possible, because Charoline(?) is a very long break(?) quickly, and investigate food options thoroughly. My sanguine pointed out some hidden chocolate nok(?), and that totally made my day. Bi-Tech is also your friend. I met mechanic Ami from San Francisco, and he's been a great help in making my bike rum properly. Also, ringing I have to for(?) sleeping to keep all the camp's lights on all night. And, if you need complete darkeness, you're out of luck. listen

Continuing the post...

Continuing the post for Sunday, June 1st, we started out in San Francisco at the Cow Palace and group of 2500 riders from all across the country and the globe. Started our 545 miles trek down to LA. We climbed a bunch of hills, came across a lot of supporters on the road and it was really inspiring to see everyone out to support us. We are in camp right now and 9:00 is bedtime. So, I'm gonna go to sleep. I hope you have a goodnight and I will pull(?) something in the morning. Bye. listen
