Day 2 was HOT! About 95 degrees on the ride from Palm Springs CA to Blythe CA. The ride was 130 miles with a total climb of 2,600.
Didn't receive any pictures from day 2, so I am guessing that Dad got a little tired and had to put more focus on biking!
This picture is from Day 3 which brought the riders into Arizona - 1 state down, 8 more to go! Today was a cooler day of about 85 degrees. Paul rode 115 miles at an av speed of about 17 mph with 3,300 ft of climbing. Tonight they are in in Wickenbury AZ.Today the ride was on "rt 10" for a little bit then most of the ride was a straight road with lots of cactus. Desert riding!
Apparently the group has had a few run ins with a few people going to the hospital for dehydration and another guy had a broken chain. Geez, it's dangerous out there in the west!
Tomorrow they take on a 103 mile ride with 10,000 feet of climbing. Sounds like Paul's style! They will end up in Cottonwood AZ.
More to come!
