Easiest 75 miles I ever rode! The wind was strong again! Blowing sand like crazy! But the wind was from the EAST! That was heaven for us! We sailed through it all today, easily reaching 30 mph on the flats. Could climb at 15 mph. We crossed the Arizona State line and stopped for some picture taking. The mountains continue to be breath taking and awesome! We dodge tumbleweed as that in your spokes could cause an accident.
As we entered Arizona we lost an hour again since this state does not have daylight savings time. Therefore, when we enter California we will jump ahead two hours. I still have my watch set on Michigan time, my phone automatically changes to Mountain Time, and now neither one is correct. Oh well.
Our ride is too quickly coming to an end. We are exploring how we will return. Bob and Dean are calling bike shops in San Deigo to find out about shipping bikes home. It's so expensive to fly with them and not all Amtrak trains allow them. Bob, Ron and I are also exploring renting a car to Las Vegas and then getting home from there by plane or train. Lots to work out yet.
There's nothing different to see along the way. Sand and mountains! Shorter day tomorrow.
