Hello All Those Near & Dear!
Yesterday we awoke to a nice, crisp, sunny day. Everyones spirits were high & we were ready to conquer the 40 miles ahead, which included the '7 Sisters' climb. The views were stunning (as one would hope them to be at 5000 feet elevation) & muscles were definitely burning. After a long day of riding, Group 1 & 2 reunited in San Francisco at Kathy Rose's house for our official Bike Tour kick off party!
Today we were lucky enough to be able to sleep in a bit. At 10:30am we all met up at 'Sports Basement' for a bike maintenance clinic. Jeff was our humorous and knowledgable host, who we were all happy to see again.
Half our day was spent at 'Sports Basement' purchasing gear and tuning our bikes. 'Sports Basement' has always provided us with such great service & continues to help us out in any way possible.

We wrapped up the day polishing our workshops at Kathy Rose's mission apartment. The tour officially starts tomorrow, with a visit to the Claire Lilienthal School & to Episcopal Community Services. Fifty miles later we will be in Los Altos staying at Foothills Congregational Church.
A big thanks to Kathy, Nikki, Madison, Drew Fink, Dave Seamans, & Nicole for accommodating us the past two nights. And one last 'Thank You' shout out to Sports Basement & The Recyclery Bike Shop!!!
Signed Your Happy Cyclist,
Marguerite : )
