June 17 The ride has started

A few of the crew people from CA, CO and Australia

We rode down to the beach today to oficially start at the pacific coast.  overcast and drizzly, nobody cared, we were finally riding.  Astoria Everyone is friendly as we get to know each other.  Why are you riding is a big topic.  Usually it is a major "bucket list" item.  Mimi (2nd from left) is riding because it is her friend Polly's (3rd from left) dream and both of their husbands backed out. 

Damm that water is cold  Squishy shoes all the way back to the hotel

First group meeting is tonight.  Time to go over the rules.
See you down the road

  1. Hola Sam, Looks like a great start. Watching and wishing you well. Not sure I could manage whole days without Internet. How does the Pacific Ocean manage to look cold at the end of June? Have fun! Ginger, Glenn and GB

    1. Pacific not only looked cold it is cold.
      True to its reputation coastal Oregon is overcast a LOT and regularly rains most of the year.

  2. Sam:

    Congratulations!!

    The hardest step is the first one. Or in this case, the wettest.
    As Bearclaw Chris Latham said to Jeremiah Johnson, "You will do well."

    All the best.
