What a day. Long, boring and hot. We are finally out of the Mojave desert but still in a desert per se. We had to ride 17 miles of interstate first thing due to extremely rough roads that paralleled the interstate. The interstate wasn’t bad except for too many trucks.
There was just nothing to look at today to keep your attention so I always play mind games and count things. Helps to keep me occupied instead of dwelling on the boredom.
We were scheduled to ride 68 miles but somehow, the miles got longer or someone miscalculated. We ended up riding almost 77. It was getting hot, all uphill at the end, and I was tired. I just wanted to be there. We all sorta expect a mile or two off but not nine. If it hadn’t been hot, I think I would have not minded so much.
No pictures today from this boring ride.
Staying at a golf resort lodge tonite. We had our last rider prepared meal last nite so we are going out to eat these last three nites. The rider prepared food has been good, never went away hungry. Don’t think I’ve lost any weight on this part of my trip. Darn it. Just too much food available all the time. And I am not one to just look at it.
Sounds like I’ll be coming home on a day they call for snow. Oh, well, that’s to be expected. I was hoping for a week of snow free weather so I could do a few things outside. We’ll see.
