After 7 days of desert, 100 plus degree days, and back to back to back climbing, we dragged ourselves around today after 12 hours of rest. We did a bit of an overall bike cleaning outside the hotel in the morning, and have otherwise participated in a serious day of sleep, eat, rest, eat, nap, eat, rest, and get our heads around the 95 mile day scheduled for tomorrow.
Amoung my minor travails, I have had to get a new wrist watch today since the cheapy one I was wearing had the watch frame broke so that it would not hold the wrist band. So Timex and I are now new friends. Now I have another new techno-thing to learn how to work and set. Fortunately, the settings track very much like my older one. Since we are in the Southwest, Happy trails, and see ya.................

Hi Tom, As a former rider myself last year, it's funny to read about the same things we experienced last year. I'll keep following your progress. You should have far fewer flats the farther east you get. Tell Mack, Jim and Rick hi for me! Peggy Muncy, Arkansas (XC08)
ReplyDeleteThanks Peggy. I'm from the East Coast, and I know that this Highway riding is a different world that turns tires into "Air Collandars".
