Day Zero: Driving from Carson to San Francisco: 28 Sep 2007



Friday September 28, 2007

We left @ 3:30 am so we could beat the traffic into San Francisco and have some time to sightsee after we checked into our hotel. We took the boring route 5 that runs through California’s central farm valley. Here’s what that trip looks like on a map. According to Yahoo! Maps this is a 399.4 miles trips that should take 5 hours and 49 minutes to drive.

We had fun sightseeing in China Town then joined all the riders and their families for the opening dinner. This is the 7th year for the event and we have raised over $4 mil over those 7 years! This year we (240 riders) are on the way to raising $1.4 mi!! The money raised is used for research and for the camps for children with arthritis.


Time for bed! We have to get to the start at 6:00 am for breakfast.
