Day 3

Getting into a better rhythm with the ride and its routine. Logan is the getting the bikes prepped as I change from bike to bike. We started riding at 5 AM. That helped a lot. It was much cooler, less traffic, and allowed us to finish around 1 PM; thus, avoiding riding in the hottest part of the day. The high in Blythe was 93.

How Tough Was Day 1?

Like riding a bicycle up the side of a skyscraper…

Day 2

As for the ride, it was a tough day. A good bit of climbing and strong head wind most of the day. I rode about 85 miles, and it took almost 8 hours. I had planned on the ride taking less than 6 hours. Also, my GPS taking system didn’t capture the entire ride. Part of it was due to me; I forgot to turn it back on for one stretch and the rest was due to loss of connection with the satellites.
