Brother Tony here,
reporting third-hand ...
John/Sam's wife Piper called last night to report that Team Will set off from San Francisco successfully Monday morning. After dippin' (in the Pacific) and sippin' (champagne), the Shift 1 Riders took off over the Golden Gate Bridge and rode all the way to Sacramento. There, at the state capital, the Shift 1 riders met-up with Team Will's Shifts 2 and 3 riders for a send-off rally. With a police escort, all three shifts rode from the capital to officially embark on the 2008 ride.
John/Sam told Piper he never had a stronger ride than his ride from SF to Sacto and that he's feeling great. For her part, Piper, along with daughter Erin and son Brandt, were thrilled to be involved in Monday's festivities as they met up with Sam and Team Will in Sacramento.
Piper reports that John/Sam has pictures of his ride over the Golden Gate. We'll post them here as soon as he's able to find an Internet connection to send them to us.
REQUEST: If anyone comes across any news coverage of yesterday's event in Sacramento, please e-mail it to me at tony@nivernais.com so I can post it for everyone following Sam's progress. Thanks!
