Today we started out late for a day that was going to reach 90 degrees or more. Took Sonny into have blood drawn and left him with the car while we rode off to Bouse, or so we thought.
I think we both were feeling a little less than stellar today, but we made it to Bouse, got water and a Nutty Buddy bar (yum, yum) then stopped at the friendliest little bar (NOT) for a beer and some "lunch" (french fries and onion rings). Hey, and even watched part of an episode of "Bonanza". Gave me something to think about the rest of the day....
Then, instead of just riding back down Plomosa Road we decided to ride Hwy. 72, to 42E, to 60 to Brenda and then back on the I-10 to Quartzsite. I'm really glad I didn't know the exact mileage.....
So 62 miles or so later, we roll off of I-10 into Quartzsite. Silly Al's here we come -- need calories!! Beer and Cheesy Garlic Bread (yum, yum too). Then another 5+ miles after that back to La Posa South (our home for the winter), part of which was on dirt/gravel road (interesting on a road bike!).
Total miles today: 67.9, time 4:23. Aching upper back again. But I am so CALM, practically comatose, most likely because my blood pressure was down to 101/64 due to dehydration. Love it!!!
