DAY FOUR BLYTHE TO WICKENBURG, AZ

Another difficult day of riding.  Michelle tried to ride today but still experienced pain in her knee.  She's going to head into Flagstaff to see another orthopedist and hopefully get an MRI to see what's going on.  I hope we can get the knee fixed so my biking partner can ride with me.

Today's distance was 116 miles.  At 70 miles in, the heat was getting to me so i made the decision to take a bump to the SAG stop at  the 89 mile point.  I wanted to complete the entire ride but I decided to air on the side of caution.  The 19 mile van ride allowed me to get out of the sun and re-hydrate.  At 89 miles, I jumped back on my bike and completed the final 27 mikes.  I had my third flat tire about 50 yds from the hotel.

On to day five.

Best,

Michael and Michelle
