DAY THREE INDIO, CA TO BLYTHE, CA

MICHELLE SAT OUT TODAY TO REST THE KNEE.  SHE'LL BE BACK IN THE SADDLE TOMORROW.  MICHELLE TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME DURING THE SAG STOPS TODAY AS I SLUGGED THROUGH THE 97 MILE DAY.

I'VE NEVER TACKLED ANYTHING SO HARD AS THE RIDE WE DID TODAY.  THE HEADWINDS REACHED 35 - 40 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 100'S AND THE RIDING WAS AT TIMES ON POOR PAVEMENT.

WE RODE MOSTLY ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY (RTE 10E).  I HAD MY FIRST FLAT TIRE TODAY AT MILE 33. 

BEST REGARDS,

MICHAEL AND MICHELLE

  2. AWESOME job!! Don't forget that you are getting the hardest stuff out of the way early. Stay in the moment and enjoy every hot, windy minute!

    And don't forget: While you're sweating in the desert I'm lounging by your pool -
