Update

My bike trip has gone well and I’ve seen amazing parts of CA and AZ and met some great friends along the way within the biking group.  That said, I’ve had a medical hiccup in a remote area of AZ. After a series of tests which were a bit inconclusive, I’m heading home to see my doc in NJ.  Hopefully I can meet up with bike crew before too long, who are experiencing a delay due to fires in NM.

Day 3 - 90 miles- 7000 ft total elevation through the San Jacinto mtns

  Chilly morning to pedal over 7 foothills with snow covered mountains in the distance, through the San Manuel Indian reservation, with wind at his back for 30 miles before hitting the start of Mojave dessert with blustery cross winds.  Rode past the Marriott in Palm Spring (no lobby boat ride this time) and near  Twenty Nine Palms where Brian was stationed with USMC.  Kevin’s day began with a bit of excitement as WILD dogs attempt to join Kevin, his response, PEDAL FASTER! At the next light a driver told Kevin there were 2 bikers down behind him. He turned around to find they had crashed due to the dogs. A call to 911 with both now hospitalized! Kevin arrived in Indio, CA safe and sound but very tired. Rode much of the way with his new friend from Korea.
