LIVING MY DREAM

On March 5th, 2010 at age 69, I will begin a
cycling adventure from San Diego, California to St.Augustine Florida. The two month, 3098 mile journey will cross the 'southern tier' of the United States and end on April 30th, 2010. I will post my progress, location, and photographs whenever possible.

Phoenix to Apache Junction, AZ

Day started out okay.   No hills, mostly flat and everyone riding together.  Then it started to get HOT.   Didn´t drink enough fluids today and got sick.  Just felt like all the energy was drained out of my body.   Stopped and tried to rehydrate, but it was too late.  I did finish the 60 miles but it was a struggle.   Could not wait to get into the AC here at the hotel, shower and ice my body down.  Learned an important lesson today and I know better.   It is only going to get hotter.  Weather forecast in the 80´s the next couple of days.

    Hi, JoAnn. Be wary of all desert travel from where you are until you make eastern Texas. Please hydrate in the morning serveral times at different intervals before you begin to ride. If possible, carry a sport drink of some sort to replenish eletrolytes. Even in less than intense heat, the desert robs you of moisture. Paul
