Riders are here!

Yesterday was more leadership training, including some more shopping, practicing driving with the van and trailer, working on some more cue sheets, going for a swim in the ocean and talking about emergency action plans... good times. 

Today we had a crazy morning doing all the last minute stuff, and cleaning up the church to set everything up. The riders started getting here around 1pm and we all put bikes together (which I had to help with? I did better than I thought I would!) did some bag checks, check-in stuff and all that jazz. Then we went on to play some ice breakers and do some small group meeting about policies, chore groups, painting the trailer and other fun stuff. We also did group skits of all the policies, which is just a fun way to go over them :) We had a lovely dinner that the Beaches Habitat group put on for us, and then we came back to the church. A group of about 5 of us primed the trailer, and did some brainstorming for painting that will occur tomorrow and friday. And now, we're off to bed so we can get up at 5:30am for our first build day tomorrow, yay!
