BAD WEATHER DAY 3
Three days into my journey. Yesterday was my turn to drive the SAG vehicle. Half the women(11),sagged because of the rainy conditions and steep climbs into the mountains. Today it was a descent of 3000 feet. and 10 miles of winding, wet roads. The tour guides decided we should not cycle down the mountain and risk crashing. Five women chose not to cycle at all today. So, the rest of us started at the base and rode 40miles in rain, sleet and snow. YES, snow!! It was brutal out there all day. I was soaked and cold most of the time even though I had three layers of clothing on, shoes covers, helmet cover, and gloves. Needless to say I was happy when this ride ended. No pics because of the poor weather conditions. TOMORROW; 89 MILES through the desert.

Seems like quite a contrast in two days, from snow to desert. We had snow on our trip last year, but with your route, I wouldn't have guessed it for you guys. I hope you enjoy the desert today more than the snow yesterday.

ReplyDeleteHey, JoAnn, Can't say I'm surprised about the weather, nor your diligence about riding through it! A trooper all of the way. Hope today has been better for you...enjoy the early spring desert vegetation.
