HEADWINDS.... yesterday and today. I only made it to the first SAG stop at about 22 miles. The headwind was unrelenting and we had 50 more miles, mostly along the interstate (I-10). Riding at 8-9 mph we might have made it for dinner plus we lost an hour as we switched from Mountain to Central time.
The van picked up four of us.
I have the utmost admiration for our riders that made it the whole way.
Tomorrow is a 90 mile day with climbing and possibly more headwinds. Not sure what I will do.
According to our guides this has been a very difficult tour weather wise, hot, cold, wind, dust storm. We are hoping it ends soon...
