Kind of anauspicis start to the ride. Today we biked to the Pacific ocean to dip our rear tires in the ocean. 8 miles into the ride I got a flat. Rear tire of course. No Sag support on the ride today so I got more practice in fixing flats. Hopefully the first and last one of the trip. For those of you who attended FLETC. You would notice a familiar smell in the air here. Lot's of wood pulp plants here and the aroma is in the air. Tomorrow is a 69 mile ride to St Helens. A lot of really nice people on the ride. It should be fun to go through this together.
