Today is zero day. We leave about noon today for San Francisco where the five riders will meet for dinner. Tomorrow morning we will gather near the Great Highway of San Francisco, dip our rear wheels in the Pacific Ocean, and begin our ride through the City and out to the Mount Diablo area where we will camp for the night.
This morning, Tim Viall, Director of the Stockton Emergency Food Bank, and I were invited to be on a local Fox40 t.v. show. They asked me to bring my bike and talk about the ride. We were able to lift of the reality that there are children in our communities today who will not have the nutrition they need to live healthy lives. And shame on us for letting that happen. I pray that this ride will enable us to focus each day on what we can do to make sure that there is food on every table.
By the way, yesterday, the Stockton Record (newspaper in Stockton) did a very nice piece on the ride that included a fairly large picture of Tim and me on a recent ride. I will try to include the link for that article.
The picture today is of our support team...Cindy Fowler and Kathy Ossmann. If the ride is hard, their job is even harder. We are blessed and grateful to have their presence, support and encouragement along the way.
Tomorrow...Riding Day ONE!!!
