Day 1, June 4, 2017, Cow Palace to Santa Cruz

 Day 1 starts in the large hall at the Cow Palace at 5:30 am with 3000 people and words from the CEOs at SF AIDS Foundation and LA LGBT Center. They announce how much has been raised and show it on a screen. This year > $15 million. The PG&E Team raised over $65,000.00

Natalie and Rick, both employees from Fresno getting ready to start their epic week.




Jan walking to the start line, fog already starting to break up. By lunch, at San Gregorio State Beach, the sun was shining brightly. Tom, Larry, Jan and Steven were able to eat together.
Bike parking, not yet full, in Santa Cruz, at Harvey West Park.
Sea of blue and white tents popping up on the grid, in specified locations.

The route from Ride W/GPS, not all elevation shown, but you get the idea. It's not all down hill from SF to LA, except on the map.
The meals are packed full of calories and nutrition, but there are plenty of sugary snacks too.
