Day 1: San Francisco to Santa Cruz

Got up at 4am after only 5 hours sleep. Cow Palace is a giant concrete bunker south of San Francisco and in thickening fog with thousands of cyclists it was surreal. The kick-off event was like a mass gymnastic performance.


Within a couple of hours, I had my first of many punctures. A little further down the road, Nathan was helping another cyclist to fix another puncture.


In the late morning, we were riding directly under the fog line; then it lifted to show blue sky.
