Phenomenal day! Not only did we make ALL 55 miles, we actually enjoyed it! The skies were blue, and the sun was shining! We actually stripped down to our biking short-sleeve shirts and Andy was in his oh-so-cool biking shorts! We averaged 10.7 miles/hour which is what we were doing in the bedroom. We are very pleased, and actually looking forward to tomorrow!
Statistics:
Mileage: 55 miles
Flat tires: 0 for Linda, 0 for Andy, 3 for Kyle
Road kill: 4 possums, 1 skunk, and 1 small black bird
Snake sitings: 0 live, 5 flat skins
Rating for the day: 10
Las Vegas or Bust!!
Name bands for each rider ... in case we are found on road dead ... hmmmm ... should we reconsider ...
50 people started the ride together at the base of the California capitol building!
Happy rider ... for today anyway! :-)

Great start ! I hope for continued great weather for your ride. If it makes you feel any better, it snowed here this morning....
You were both (along with Mom and Dad taking care of Brian and Kelley, or is that the other way aorund....) mentioned prominently tonight in our prayers. The kids and Maggie and I could not be more proud of you both.
Hope the rest of the days are as good as the first!
Great start guys! We're all routing for you. In church today Rev. Steve was routing you on and everyone is going to keep you in their prayers! The Perriello's
Nice work Andy!

Great Job Andy and Linda, we have been thinking about you. We saw the great story channel 9 did last week. The kids like linda's bike!
Maybe you will be ready join Suzannes on her next Ironman?
Keep going,

Andy, sorry to hear you got a stomach bug...you shouldn't have chugged the rest of that Kendall-Jackson chardonany that had gone bad...it may have done you in :) I had a great time riding with you two and the rest of the team for the weeekend. Good luck with the rest of the ride. (My roadkill count for day two: 4 skunks, three cats, one mouse/rat, and one unidentified creature, yuck).

Linda and Andy, Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to say bye before I left. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Have fun at the rest of the ride and best of luck! Susie
You go girl! Andy, any chafing you want to talk about?
Hey Linda and Andy,
We're so proud of you. It's been fun tracking your adventure; well except the road kill part. Love Eli & Matt
(Actually, I like the road kill updates, Matt)
