Day 1: San Fran to Yountville
This morning, our riders begin. From San Francisco to Yountville, CA, their first of 64 days will take them 77 miles, out of 4,000 on their way to Virginia Beach. See their various stops along the way, or view their detailed Day-1 route map.
UPDATE (8:46 a.m. PT): Looks like only Chris’ GPS provides real-time location data.
I’m excited that Andrew Hartzell, and Chris Frost and Marc Esposito have GPS devices enabled as they ride. We’ll see how accurate and up-to-the-minute those are. Access Andrew’s GPS, access Chris’ GPS, or access Marc’s GPS.
Good luck riders! Even those of us who aren’t riding with you - we’re with you.
