First day of orientation down, one more orientation day, then a build day and then we are biking west. Today consisted of checking in and getting the rest of my gear (jersey's, t-shirts and a thermarest). We played a couple of name game/"icebreakers" to get to know everyone, learned how to change a flat and then learned some bike safety from a bike lawyer from the area. Quote of the day is "this is a baptism by fire...you are riding across the effing country." Couldn't have said it better myself.
Tomorrow will consist of an early wake-up followed by more name games. We're doing our 'shakedown' ride in the morning through Charleston. Wednesday is going to be a build day with the local Habitat for Humanity. Then on Thursday we bike towards Santa Cruz.
