Day 5 - Blythe, CA to Wickenburg, AZ - 115 Miles - 3900 feet climbing

Hello Everyone,

It's past my bedtime so just a short post. Even though today was a longer ride, I finished strong and feel in much better shape than yesterday. We had pretty calm winds with around 95F temp, however, it wasn't like the humid 95 that we have back in Iowa. Keeping our heads, neck scarves (for sun protection), and shirts wetted down, the evaporative cooling felt quite cool. It was a long day as I was on the road, from 7:15 this morning until 6:45 this evening (including breaks).


Loading baggage and signing out early this morning.


Our first state line crossing - into Arizona.


The day is looking promising.


I believe I am standing beside a Yucca Tree.

Tomorrow will be another trying day as the climb to Prescott will be the largest daily climb of the entire trip.

Bye for now and thanks for the comments.

Bob
