Since this was the first day, they started out by discussing bike safety rules and group biking procedures, then caught a train out of the city. They did their first biking together around Rutgers University and New Brunswick, NJ.
Their destination for the day was the Doubletree Hotel in Somerset, NJ, where they had a swim in the hotel pool and then cooked and ate dinner in the fresh air at a picnic table on hotel grounds.
