We again breakfasted at the hotel before continuing my search for an adaptor. The hotel staff were most helpful and one phoned Radio Shack and said they had one but they were about 2-3 miles away. No problems I said, we can walk. So we did and that problem was solved so the laptop can now be used freely where Wi-Fi is available.
As the ABB accommodation starts today, we had to check out and check in again. We had arranged to keep the same room so this was not a problem.
In the afternoon, we walked down to the beach before returning to the hotel to complete the ABB rider registration, have the bikes checked again, and then go through a very thorough over three hour presentation on the logistics and safety aspects of the ride etc along with details of tomorrow’s ride – we breakfast at 6.30am (hopefully!), leave at 7.15am for the beach and head off to Palm Springs after that. There are just over 20 riders registered for the cross country tour with just one female rider. I am also one of the youngest with the oldest around 64. They did not have the ABB cycling jerseys in our size so we have to wait for these.
With a head full of information and what to do and what not to do, we headed off and had a kilojoule laden dinner at Denny’s before returning to the hotel to pack and prepared.
Tomorrow we ride ……..
