San Diego

I have arrived in San Diego to sunny skies, green grass, palm trees and warm temperatures. A far cry from the weather I left behind in western Massachusetts. I collected my bicycle from the shop yesterday and had a chance to do some riding. My ride from the shop to my hotel was over a steep San Ferancisco-like hill. Both bicycle and rider made it up and over. Happy to have my butt back on a real bicycle rather than a spinning bike and to hear the lovely sound of click-click as my cleats lock in. I'm ready to ride!

Members of the group have begun to arrive, including our group leader and our chef de tour. They both seem great. Our first official function is an introductory gathering at 1:00 this afternoon and then our send-off dinner tonight. Let the fun begin!

Tomorrow is our first day of riding which includes 2000 feet of elevation gain. Wish me luck!
