Rookie Year

The first year is always a learning experience. And it is an experience that Dawn, Michelle and I will never forget.
We rode with BIC our first year. Our group took 2 greyhound buses to the start. This should have tipped us off to the experiences we were about to have.

98'-Dawn and Erica

A list of a few things that went wrong:

  • Tornado sirens first night
  • Our tent was NOT water proof and everything got soaked. ("Dawn, are your feet wet?")
  • Campgrounds that were miles upon miles away from everything
  • Campgrounds in the middle of fields with no shade
  • Getting up at 4 a.m. and not getting to camp until 5 p.m.
  • More rain....more everything soaked
  • Joe Tye took Michelles tent stake
  • Did i say rain?
  • Car wash showers
  • Army tent showers
  • And...Boxing a bike?? Give me a break!
