And so it begins! We had our ceremonial tire dip this morning. We rode down the giant hill from our luxurious home for the past 3 days to the beach. We all carefully carried our bikes down to the sand and precariously placed them where we thought the waves would not reach them. After Pete convinced some poor bystander to be our photographer we lined up together for a nice group shot and just then we not only dipped our back tire, but really got the entire bike in on the action as well as most of our shoes.
The rest of our first group ride went off without a hitch and concluded with a solid climb back up to our temporary home. We finished up our official retreat business practicing our lectures and running a few errands.
Megan, Libby and I went on a little adventure to the local bike shop where we were able to convince them to give us a hefty discount on some new floor pumps (you rock UC Cyclery) and then continued on for some grocery shopping. I must say any grocery store with an ice cream shop right inside really knows what it's doing.
We had a nice farewell San Diego dinner out in Del Mar and returned home for some final preparation for tomorrow. East coast here we come!
