First riding day. A short jaunt this morning from the hotel to the Pacific Ocean at Fort Stevens State Park and back, a round trip of 29 miles. At the Ocean I dipped my tire into the Pacific. The day was beautiful with sunny skies and temperature in the 60s. The ride was scenic and largely rural, pretty much the polar opposite of my ocean dip in Los Angeles last year. On the way out I saw several young elk by the shoulder of the road. I initially thought they were deer but when they failed to scatter as I approached realized they were elk.
The formal tour orientation was held this afternoon followed by our first tour dinner together. We have approximately 40 riders including three from Australia, and other riders from Germany, Israel, The Netherlands, UK, and Canada. I looking forward to getting to know what seems to be a diverse group of people.
