a Biker: Wake up at 6am. Pack up. Breakfast once everyone has their things packed and by the trailer. Clean up the host site, leaving it cleaner than we found it. Group meeting to go over route and lunch stop. Take off and be at the host by 4pm. This means we have all day to do what you want and see what you want. Just be sure to stop at lunch, check in at minimium, chow down is recommended. Like today, we stopped for an hour at an Iris Festival then again at a dollar store to restock sunscreen supplies. By the time we left the festival, which was in our host town, the fast group had almost arrived to the lunch stop 25 miles ahead. Everyone is spaced out in their own groups. I am in a turtle group or with the sweeps. I'm renaming the sweeps to Sierra & Sweeps. I don't mind. Then once we're at the host, we shower, lay out our bedding, eat, see the town, sleep, swim, stretch, etc. It's quite the life... :)
a Builder: Same morning process. Arrive at build site around 8am. Do work. Done around 4pm.
