The Trouble with Harry

The flat tire team had only 3 flat tires. All 3 were with Harry's tires. One before he started out. One during the first SAG at 32 miles and the last less than 500 yards from the hotel.

I have encountered a new problem - Hot foot. My foot just gets hot. At each SAG I pour water over my shoes and this solves it. My shoulder and wrist are improving each day.

Alec (sorry I referred to him as Alex yesterday) has discovered the power of Burger King. He had it today and bicycled very strongly.

Harry took us out at a very slow pace today as there were some slight uphills of 7 and 9.9 miles. Not that difficult at that pace.

We crossed our first state today.




At mile 55 we passed an interesting sign (read into it what you may)

At the 66th mile SAG stop we re hydrated and probably averaged 19 miles per hour for the next 23 miles. We stopped at the last SAG stop at mile 89 and then continued on to the hotel in Wickenburg (probably spelled that wrong).

There were two people that were taken for IVs at the hospital yesterday, Fred and Chris. Chris rode today and Fred took the day off. They are both fine. Apparently, Chris took too many electrolytes and Fred too little.

Tomorrow we bicycle around 60 miles. Apparently, all uphill.

P.S. I got a slow leak in my front tire. I fixed the leak and will deal with the rest tomorrow morning.
