Actual Kms: 93
Overkill Kms: 12
Road Things: dead snake, racoon with three babies.
Intersting Person Pick: Hans, as in Hans Solo. He was my leader on our first trip out of Seattle, a Mountain Equipment Company guy who goes to Regent College and very sincere. Excellent biker.
Money Spent: $0
Wipeouts: 1 which equaled 3 bruises on the leg and one very sore bum. I wiped out 5 kms in on our way to the tire dipping ceremony because I didn't go over the railroad tracks on a 90 degree angle. Bummer.
Favourite Part of the Day: Seeing the tents in the field as we came in and hearing the comment, "We look like the Israelites". I'd like to add "except in colour".
Worst Part of the Day: Falling 5 kms into the ride. Embarassing.
It was a great day! We dipped our tires in the great blue Pacific and left the beach with our group (Group 8). We had an accident - a 77 year old woman named Agatha hit a pole in the middle of the trail we were taking and generally speaking, people were nervous and jumpy. We took a long time to complete our journey - from 10 am to 5 pm. Blah.
We did visit a wine tasting shop (see video soon) only to find out that it wasn't free. Being Dutch, we left without a taste. :) I was worried today about pacing tomorrow and being able to work with someone else in a group without being slowed down. But I slept well...back to the 8:30 bedtime.

Hey Sarah! Glad to here you got there alright. good to see you're blogging.
I'm pretty sure Hans' last name is Doef and he is a really good guy.
Too bad about the crash but it's best that you got that out of the way, now you can focus on having fun.
Have a great time. i'm rooting for you!

I just call him Hans Solo because that's how you pronounce the "Hans"....or everyone here does anyways. Thanks Trever! I'll try to make you proud. :)
