day 0 - Portland, Oregon to Pacific City, Oregon

this bike belongs to 'the other heather'. i declared her 'racer heather' and myself 'heather support'. she represented our name well. and had a really funny incident with a cop outside of cleveland...

as is typical for scooter events, there were a lot of people still working on their bikes outside of p-town scooters on day 0 (the day before the race started)

the turquoise lambretta belongs to kieren i can say about kieren that he made it. he just kept riding. his lammy was slow, but he was determined and rode each day.

that is roy kneeling on the ground, he rode the cheese-wedge bike (which is not shown in this picture). not sure which bike that is in the picture...hm...

so the cannonball starts the day after the 'run from the sun' rally ends. it also starts with a cannonball firing. they hit the rock.

what else happened the day before the race? i went to lunch with johnny fang, superhero! and i went to the mall, no sales tax. i went to a show with chelsea and her gang. and i ate a GIANT donut.
