Hi everyone and Hoka Hey!
The competitors have an early start in the morning. They are leaving for Alaska at sunrise, 6:43 AM. The riders are meeting at 5 AM to line up for the start. At that time they will receive their first "Cue Sheet" to the first check point, the first of 7, approximately 1000 miles north of here. Somewhere - Still a mystery.
Brian had a semi-relaxing day. After getting the bike checked out by the Race Committee, we headed to the beach to find some escape from the heat.
The final competitor's meeting was held in the grand ballroom at the Marriott. The Harley guys and gals are pumped and ready for the road. Jim Red Cloud, the race Chairman and creator, answered last minute questions and gave away few a details about the days ahead for these warriors. All that is known about the course at this time is that is will be challenging. Although the final number of competitors has not been revealed at this time (approx 700-800), Jim predicts the it could be fewer than 25 who actually finish.
More tomorrow.
