Today is our first rest day! It feels great.
We are camping at the Colorado River. Yesterday we arrived in Blythe, CA in 105 degree heat. We rode early in the morning and slept in the camper from 11:30 till 2:30 and rode again. It was a 60-mile day. The desert was in bloom and that was neat.
We rode our bikes from the beach in San Diego to the Colorado River! It's so hot...Hayden, Peter and I went floating in the river and it felt great.
We had gone two nights without showers and I had slow moving children caught in my hair.
The weirdest things so far are sleeping outside in the Walmart parking lot and also the "town" of Glamis. Glamis is a big sand box full of crazy people who sleep during the day and ride around in dune buggies all night. Hayden found it quite restful. Peter found it horrific.
Meeting lots of interesting people. More about that next time.
This is the story of Peter and Karen Wolfe planning and executing a bicycle trip across the US. The trip began April 18th from La Jolla, CA and is set to end on July 4th at York Town, VA. We have borrowed a 21-foot motorhome from our cousins. We sleep in the rv at night and it drags all of our stuff. Various drivers are taking turns supporting us and meeting us to bring water and set up our camping spot each night.
