Only 65 miles today. Three 1000 ft climbs, and the headwind settled down to 10 mph or so. Getting plenty of heat acclimation though. 85 today.
The roads were good, no complaints despite our route included 26 uphill miles on I-10, the freeway from LA to Phoenix!!
Stunning scenery, beyond words. Rain last week means wildflowers lining the freeway, but the mountains silhouetted against the sky at dusk...
Only tiny towns today. We crossed our first border, into Arizona, over the Colorado river and our holdup for the night about 60 miles into Arizona in a scrubby desert town, Salome, which is primarily run down shacks and mobile homes. More great Mexican food and extra time off the bike are welcome.
Doug is so lucky...
