Good morning, adventurers! You attended yesterday’s meeting, camped at this host site overnight, and are ready to begin the leisurely ride to the next host site. Remember: quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.

Breakfast on your own – or enjoy the PALM meal.*
Cafeteria meal plan hours are 6:30‑8:30 a.m.
