Day 42

DAY 42 SATURDAY

TODAY WAS A 59 MILE DAY WITH IMPENDING HIGH TEMPERATURES 90’S AND STRONG HEADWINDS. WE LEFT PEACH SPRINGS ARIZONA AT 5:30 AM YES 5:30AM …. I HAD MY 2CUPS OF COFFEE AND A FEW BITES OF CEREAL THEN OFF AND RIDING AS THE SUN WAS RISING ONTO A BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY. ALL WAS GREAT, NICE DOWNHILLS VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AND RIDING ROUTE 66. ALL CHANGED WHEN I GOT TO MILE 50. THERE WAITING PATIENTLY WERE WICKED HEADWINDS. OH WELL, WHAT’S NEW, TOUGH IT OUT AND 9 MILES LATER I WAS AT THE COMFORT INN IN KINGMAN ARIZONA OUR LAST NIGHT IN ARIZONA😮. 7 DAYS TO SANTA MONICA WITH SOME PLANNED MODIFICATIONS DUE TO 110+- TEMPERATURES AND STRONG HEADWINDS IN THE NEXT FEW TOWNS NEAR THE MOHAVE DESERT. OUR SAFETY IS A PRIORITY TO OUR GUIDE CINDI AND FOR THAT I AM GRATEFUL. SHE IS AN AWESOME LEADER STAYING FOCUSED ON WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT.
RIDING TODAY WITH BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS OFF IN THE DISTANCE, THE BLUEST SKIES I HAVE EVER SEEN, I FELT GOD’S PRESENCE IN HIS CREATIONS. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE FOLLOWED SOME OF MY POSTS I AM BLESSED WITH YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
I AM GRATEFUL TO TAKE THIS CHALLENGING JOURNEY FOR ALZHEIMER’S AWARENESS AND FUNDRAISING. THE DIFFICULT DAYS PASS AND THE SUN RISES AGAIN ON A NEW DAY.
SEE YOU TOMORROW FROM CALIFORNIA 🚴❤️
