Today was the hottest day on the bike yet, with temps hitting the 80 degree mark. My arms are a little red now, but my hands aren’t because I’ve been wearing the longsleeve without gloves for the past couple of weeks. Nothing too serious, but I’ll have to lather up a bit more sunblock for tomorrow’s ride… The endurance is starting to build up now as these long rides don’t seem quite so fatiguing.

I snapped some quick pics along today’s route down to Poston and back. These pictures don’t do the scenery justice but you’ll get the idea of what’s out here.

The good ol’ Parker Dam. I see this thing on any ride longer than 90 minutes since there is only one road that leaves town and it goes right to it.

And here is a view from Parker Dam Road which follows the California side of the Colorado River. Nice and flat, but usually quite windy.

And here is the best view that I’ve found. You’ve got sand dunes with the cool blue Colorado in the background, lined with condos of course…

That’s all I’ve got for tonight. Keep it real,  -TJ
