DAY ONE LOS ANGELES TO RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA
Day one is now behind us; only 45 to go. Today we pedaled 85 miles much of it into a strong head wind. With some short SAG stops it took us about 6 hours to complete the distance.
Tomorrow is another day of similar length but we're heading into the desert where temperatures are expected to be around 110 degrees. We'll be wearing our hydration packs (thanks Condy) and special white leg and arm coolers. Our water bottles will be filled with water and frozen tonight. The hydration packs will be used to hydrate us and our water bottles will be used to cool our bodies.
I've heard the first week is the toughest. It will be nice to get over the mountains and through the desert,
Best Regards,
Michael & Michelle
