Cross Country Challenge  TOTAL MILES RIDDEN MILES CURRENT LEG
(San Francisco, CA to Fairfield, CA) After some initial butterflies, Mel was very excited about his performance on the first leg and is looking forward to the rest of the trip. After riding as a group to the "Cermonial Wheel Dip" (rear wheel in the Pacific to start, front wheel in the Atlantic to end - hopefully), he finished in the middle of the pack and said he kept to his motto of "Start at the back of the pack, then fade," but obviously others "faded" more. When he last spoke to his family he was off to the hot tub before dinner, then sleep. After all, there are only 3,715 miles to go.  Mel is kneeling behind the front row & has a yellow cap on Back to the main Bike for Ben page. |
