Well, I'm here in Astoria, OR. It is foggy/misty/rainy, cool and breezy. It looks like we will have some interesting weather to start the bike trip off. The Holiday Inn Express where we're staying is right on the water and practically under the big bridge. I have a great view of the water and the bridge - though it is pretty misty and wet right now.
I made it here safely and uneventfully and so did my bike. I got in at 7:30 pm, so missed registering today - they stopped at 6 pm. Tomorrow I'lll get my bike put together, register and explore Astoria a bit. I may walk down to the Sunday Market also, if it's not too wet. Our orientation meeting starts at 3:30 pm and I'll probably meet my roommates at that time too.
This is going to be quite the experience.....just looking at the terrain on the drive up from Portland tells me that there are going to be some major hills right from the start. The 60-some miles we ride on Monday could do me in! Everybody - send me lots of good energy - please!!!!
