Washington D.C., Orientation. We’ll meet early in the day we will meet, greet, and gear shuffle. Yay for gear and Yay for shuffling. We will break for lunch and a little bit of exploring of the city on two wheels. Later in the day we will dive head first into an orientation consisting of all things your bike, camping, safety and what to expect while tour with Red, Bike and Green. Tour handbooks will be distributed, questions will be answered, and a ton of laughs will be shared.
