Today was a 90 mile ride to Blythe, through mostly level desert land. The wind was about 35 mph, either tailwind or crosswind. The morning was tough, crossing Dunes National Park. It was really hard to control the bikes. I thoroughly expected Lawrence of Arabia to emerge on a camel. The last 50 miles was much easier. At points, I cruised along at 20-25 mph -without even pedaling. Tomorrow is a rest day, then on to AZ.
Wind really takes a lot out of you - glad you enjoyed it anyway. The rest day should be very welcome about now. You are doing something amazing.
