First Times

Hello from Samantha on day 6. Today I have assumed the position of sag wag driver/helper. Quinn made a good point at our council meeting this morning, stating that he took the opportunity to sag because his knee was hurting. My right knee is hurt so I thought it best for my body to rest and regenerate. I look forward to helping my fellow riders out in giving them food, water, a song or a hug.
The last 5 days of my life have been something that you could only see in my eyes. I have seen things, heard things and felt things I could have only experience with this group of people. We are all a loving mush pot of different personalities and assuming new roles everyday. Yesterday was the first time I have ever been on the Golden Gate Bridge and it was on my bike!!!!!! Talk about excited. I rang my bike bell the whole time.
The first time I have riden up a 15% grade hill coming out of Sausalito and the first time that I was the leader of the pack up Devils slide, which if you don't know is a very busy very narrow highway into Half Moon Bay. I am still ready for more firsts. I can already think of some.
First time to Santa Cruz on my Bike, First time speaking at a conference and first time really immersing myself in doing it, be there and experiencing a whole new culture, lifestyle and time schedule. What we are doing world changing and I can't wait to inspire others to do it, do anything, just get out there and experience the world.
Thanks all for reading, supporting and sending good energy to this group because they are some powerful people.
Love, Peace and bicycles,
Sammey
