Sunday, May 29 -  After breakfast at the hotel riders rode into San Francisco to scout the terrain and get their picture taken at Lotta's Fountain.  As you can see, much to our disappointment, the City had Lotta's Fountain boarded up for some restoration work.  Undaunted, riders managed to navigate the city traffic to pose for picture at the famed starting point of Wyman's historic journey.

Riders Meeting - Just before the 3 pm meeting, riders got the IBA starting paperwork all taken care of in the parking lot.  Witness form sign off and collection of the Waivers went off without a hitch.  Pictured here is Marti Schein talking about her Great Grandfather's exploits before and after his epic 1903 journey.


 Dave Scoffone brought the 1902 California to the meeting for all to see.  What a great opportunity to have some fun.  Kerri, Dave's collections manager, supplied the wardrobe for pictures.

Marti was first to strike the "Wyman Pose"...can you see the family resemblance?  All in attendance got their chance to pose for the camera.  Click on the caption to see more pictures.
