Bike: Today was a very long day, obviously based on the miles you can tell. What we did was decide to skip a stop because they weren't very accommodating. So we did a little extra millage and now we will have a very much needed day off tomorrow. Today we left the church and headed out, it was already 83º out. During the morning Decotis had some trouble with her knees, so her and I rode together. Next thing I know she is telling me to speed up and when she takes lead she kicks it up to 23 mph. Lunch was at mile 48 and even had fresh water. After lunch the temperature jumped up to 103º Thats when we stopped about every 10 miles to sit in the shade and relaxed. We finally got to our destination and I had about 99 miles so I rode the extra mile to hit 100. We are staying at a fairly nice KOA that actually has trees and a pool. We will be here for two days which will be nice. Camp fire tonight, peace.
