Tire dipping and the first day

June 13

Orientation is coming to a close and today we are starting to ride. Orientation was a mix of bike safety, getting to know you games, and biking drills in the parking lot (traffic signals, emergency stops, etc...) However my favorite part of the orientation was our "shake-down ride" (essentially a test drive). We biked together from the church we were staying at to Deer Island. It was a gorgeous day and the ocean, view of Boston and all the surroundings were beautiful. Speaking of beautiful the 31 others on this trip seem amazing, and Im really enjoying to getting to know you process.

So today...its currently 7:30 (I got up at 5:30!!) and we are heading to the beach to dip our back tires in the Atlantic...when we get to the pacific we will dip our front tire in!

All for now, and lots of love!
