A start like no other

The dawn today saw the Sea2Sea team and its RV on the beach looking out not over the Pacific but into the mist that covered the land and the sea.

It seems that one of the team, Alvon  Elrod  has a sort of ceremony he likes to perform when he climbs mountains, that is to stand on his head, so clearly when he goes to the ocean at dawn he doesn't hold back

The start of the ride was this morning, it was remarkable  for the enormous amount of support and encouragement from this small community of Ocean Shores WA.

At the start of the day Tom asks members of those following us to read the names of a 100 casualties from the UK and US military wars, this was made more poignant by the large numbers of school children that were present.

Then the riders left for there first day of riding.

 We finished the day in Oakville where the local Methodist gave us supper for which we thank them.
