Today was a pretty fast moving day and was pretty fun, I'd say. We spent the majority of the day organizing things for the sponsors of the trip like getting t shirts ready for those people that provided meals or for those who are sponsoring our lodging. After that we sat down and talked about difficult conversations and how to handle rowdy cyclists as well as rowdy people that might be riding along with us.
After that discussion we got together and discussed the route that we would be going on during the afternoon. It was our first practice route around Seattle to see how we handle setting up crew stops and how well we work together as a team. They intentionally switched a few of the directions so that we would mess up and have to figure out how to get back on track. Once we got out of the downtown portion of the city we got our bearings and were able to get things together pretty quickly. We went about 20-25 miles out of the city before we decided to head back for dinner. It took us a little longer than it normally would only because it was the first run we'd been doing together. Overall it went pretty well though.
We finished up around 6:30 today and have the rest of the evening to ourselves. Some of the guys are going out but I'm just super excited for tomorrow when all the cyclists arrive. I'll be at the airport all day welcoming the guys as they arrive and directing them where to go. Tomorrow is when all the real fun starts. Tomorrow is when cycling orientation begins.
