Can’t believe I’ve made it to Phoenix, AZ today! I’ve had many doubts along the way. My ass, right knee and both wrists are really feeling it! Stopping at bike shop tomorrow to see what can be done to my bike to alleviate some of these issues.
Start on Sunday 3/1: probably the most difficult day! Used GoogleMaps in biking mode and took me off course. Had to set up tent in the dark and struggled to sleep.
Monday 3/2. Much better day: roads were wider with bike lane,, less traffic and more scenic. Maxed out around 5,000 feet and then hair raising descent into Salton Lake area. Plus met up with Di and Mik
Tue 3/3: took day off to watch tennis, run w Mik, and have a nice dinner w Sandovals too.
We’d, 3/4: another really tough day. Camped at a ghost town, desert center. Scary!
Thur 3/5: brutal day: first 100 miler! Included 30 miles on I-10 expressway! That was crazy! Again, got off course!
Fri, 3/6. Ride to Salome, AZ- difficult
Sat 3/7, ride to Wickenburgh, AZ. Ok
Sun3/8, ride to Phoenix. Best day since LaQuinta!
