I made it through Day 1!!!! We left around 7:25 am under cloudy/misty skies. Had some big hills to get up and over today. Did a pretty good job of pacing myself. I was in the last quarter of the group, but I was not the last one in! For most of the ride it was green and wet. Got in about 2:30 pm. I did stop along the way, but not for long, I was too focused on getting to the end. Hopefully as I get conditioned and into a routine, I will relax a bit more and stop and smell the native foliage.
I am tired but not totally exhausted. I wonder what tomorrow will bring....

Yeah, Jean! You made it through your first day! I'm so proud of you. And thanks for sharing the photos, too. All day long Clara was saying, "Aunt Jean is riding her bike today!" Whoo-hoo!
SF was great. If I had a gajillion dollars and no earthquake phobia I would move there.
Sending you lots of good energy.
Love you,
Sarah(Sorry if some version of this message posted more than once...I was having password amnesia)
Jean - Great Job! Loved the story of the bridge - way to go or really long way to go! Reminds me of my ability to ride a subway, train or water ferry one stop in the wrong direction - great perspective - another State to the tally. HAVE FUN! Laura
Hey Jean Bean,
Enjoyed your photos of you on the beach. Way to go today, sounds like you had a great ride. I thought about you on my ride today.
Remember to take the Big Partner and enjoy the sights too.

WooHoo!!
Great going!
Hi, Jean!
Wow--how exciting and powerful of you to be doing this biking trip--not sure enough of my stamina to keep up on something like this. Good work, woman!!! This is Susan Chandler, Irene's daughter, and I used to belong to the Weaver's Guild in Boise. Now I'm completing the writing of my thesis in grad school at ACI and will be teaching high school English in Wilder this fall. Keep on trucking and I'll check back in soon.
Hey Jean! Wow, good work out there on the bike--have never thought I'd have the stamina to do it so you are impressive, chica!

Way to go Jean!! I can't wait to see you in Boise!
