Today we had orientation to the Big Ride 2010. Patty and I drove up to Seattle Pacific University to meet with the other riders and staff. There are 26 riders and 3 staff. Bridgett Herzog is our ride leader due to the original ride leader having to cancel at the last minute (her Mom passed away).
After the orientation meeting we had a pasta dinner (our first of many pasta dinners over the next forty eight days). Past riders joined the new riders. Janet, Liz, Patty and I were the only riders from 2008. It was nice to sit and chat with each other and to see the deer in the headlight look that the new riders had on their faces. I know we all looked that way in 2008.
After dinner the riders got to put their first pb&j sandwiches together (I passed). It brought back so many memories. We even have the same truck as 2008. Patty left shortly after everyone made sandwiches but I will be staying the night in the dorm. She has a lot to do since she is in charge of the first night dinner at Easton.
Tomorrow is the start of the ride...
