Five days left in the countdown to the Bike MS Bay to Bay Tour. Busy days in the meantime! We loaded up the Bike storage room and conference room into a big truck today, and then went to our storage unit and loaded up a bunch more stuff into the same truck from there. Goodie bags, volunteer T-shirts, banners, drink bins, snacks... my co-worker Jessica started out with a beautiful tetris arrangement but unfortunately by the end we were just cramming everything in. Now I'm working on the scripts for the starts and finishes, and all the other last minute details.
On Saturday we had rider check-ins at REI in San Diego and Santa Ana. Jesse and I spent a long time in REI looking at backpacking tents (and I need new hiking boots, again). We ultimately walked out without a tent or boots, and then spent another couple of hours online later looking for tents. Hopefully we'll order one tonight.
I also found out we're confirmed for Disneyland Friday morning with Sam Rubin and KTLA 5 News! So neat to be in the park before it opens. Sam Rubin has ridden in the Tour for over 10 years (I think this is his 11th) and this year KTLA is really backing him. They created public services announcements for us and let us put banners on their website - great stuff! And Disney has a team of about 200 cyclists every year - this is their 10th year!
Oh and on a personal note my old car didn't recover. I've been bumming a ride to and from work every day for the past two weeks with my co-worker Sarah. But tonight I am getting my new(er) car! Excited...
