It was very hot again today. Apparently the temperatures are record breaking. Our ride today was city/suburban and mostly flat but the 90+ degree heat really saps it out of you. Fortunately the Best Western has a nice pool and the temperature is quite pleasant at night.
Every night after dinner we have our ride meeting. The guides go over the next day's ride and hand out queue sheets. Tomorrow's ride heads into the mountains and begins with a long 2 mile climb.
Then it goes up into a canyon. I plan to ride the first half and take the van the second half. At my hill climbing speed I would miss dinner. I do have to admit the canyon riding sounds a bit terrifying! The guides are very good at describing in detail the type of ride it will be. At least it will be cooler. We have some very strong riders and probably about 10 out of the 30 will do the whole ride tomorrow.
We have come about 600 miles so we only have 2,500 miles to go.
