Orientation Day

Orientation day was the day before we began our bicycle journey.
All of us riders and roadies went to San Francisco’s Cow Palace to turn in paper work, get our tenting assignments, turn in our bicycles so we wouldn’t have to bring them the next morning, and watch a safety video. Between the power point slides telling us to always wear our helmet and stay single file, police chiefs and Hollywood Stars popped in and out of the video scriptedly wishing us a safe time on our “race" to L.A.

My tent mate was Shauna. She spent the night at my house after orientation day and my parents drove us back to the Cow Palace the next morning.
