Race Prep


We have all re-grouped in Oceanside and set to focusing on the race prep. We saw the solo riders and the Race Across the West (RAW) Riders off from the start this morning and they will be into their first night of possibly 12 days on the bike!! Wow, that is just insane!

We also met up with our US Military Colleagues who have formed an 8-man team. We had lots of healthy banter about how we were going to edge past them in the first day, and then simply ride away from them from that point on!! Or maybe the converse is closer to the truth.

Our Support crew have a busy day tomorrow, sorting out the vehicles and getting their heads around the logistics of the event and how they are going to get the show on the road, literally. They have told us to go and just ride our bikes and not to 'interfere' which we are happy with, and it gives us a great opportunity to take advantage of the good weather.

Race day minus 2 days....more to follow as we get closer!!
