Wow - what a full day! I'm exhausted - and I didn't even ride a bike! Joyce, my partner who's from New Orleans, and I followed the riders in the ERV. I thought this would be a "slow" job, but I was so wrong. Yes - we follow the last riders, but also pick up all of the directional signs along the way. These signs were put out before daylight and in the early morning hours by the sign crew. Yep - over 125 signs we stopped to pick up, in and out of the ERV. We also picked up a few riders with physical issues - cramping legs, back pain, etc. - and their bikes. They continued with us until one of the SAG vehicles could circle back and pick them up. (I can't remember what SAG stands for, but will find out.) Along the way, we met local volunteers who set up rest stops.
More later!
