REI ended up rebuilding our bikes. They were able to do it by Monday.
We had spent the weekend going to Stanford, watching graduation ceremonies, oh and we also went to the Golden gate bridge. The bridge would be where our trip would begin. It was kind of a pretty nice sight.
Stanfor was hot and San Francisco was chilly, the difference took me by surprise, and I realized the start of our ride would be uncomfortably cold; I didn't bring very warm clothes.
We said bye to Stanford on Sunday-after watching my sister's lengthy graduation ceremonies (CONGRATULATIONS SIS, I'm proud of you)- and, we headed to REI to pick up our bikes.
And we were ready to begin the next morning... we thought.
