Days1-4: Orientation in San Francisco

Orientation was a very hectic time for us all, to say the least. Our schedules were jammed full from about 6 am to midnight but we all had a great time getting to know each other. First of all, we arrived late because someone (cough cough mom) confused our itinerary into Sf, causing me to fly into Sacramento and take a 2 hour cab ride. That aside, orientation went smoothly. It was filled mostly with waking up early for practice packs (to get us packing up quickly in the morning we ride this summer), learning the rules of cycling and the road, skills, assessments, and a wonderful friendship visit to the Janet Pomeroy Center near the GG Bridge. The people there were awesome, smiles filled the room and we all had a blast during the basketball game,although the Pomeroy Wildcats beat us 100-5. One woman, Susan, led us in singing and cheering for quite some time. Overall, orientation went smoothly, but we are all ready to hit the road.
