Off to San Francisco

I am off to San Francisco today. There is a pre-ride event tonight at the Hyatt where the riders will check in and we will get the rest of our gear.


The flight up was pretty uneventful with the exception that I bumped into three other QMDC riders from San Diego. Brian came up and introduced himself, then introduced me to Mitch and James. Mitch and James have done the ride before and for Brian, it was his first time like me. We shared a cab from the airport the hotel which was nice.


After checking in, I made my way down to the registration desk and got my gear. Unfortunately I got the wrong bag and everything was several sizes to large. Luckily, I was able to swith out the items and now everything is good. The gear is top-notch with a hoodie, shirt, windbreaker/vest, armwamers, and leg wamers.


The hotel is comfortable and the service that the QMDC staff, Trek Travel, and Wheels on Wheels provides is impecable. Thank you for everything!
