Hot as F@(K
So I woke up yesterday morning after a very poor night of sleep. It was cold, and for some reason I just couldn't sleep. I decided to hit the road towards San Diego. This was going to be a long ride, but mostly side roads would help make it a bit enjoyable. What I couldn't predict was that the temperature would hit a record high. It had gotten up to 119 degrees, and riding into heat like this is oppressive. Kind of like riding straight into a hairdryer, but so much hotter. I started riding 50 miles at a time instead of 100, just to cool off, and give the bike a break. With e hours to go, my arms felt like they were on fire. I can't adequately describe the heat, it's just something terribly uncomfortable. So it's hot all day, I'm drinking tons of liquids, and finally make it to San Diego. It took me some time to find a place to sleep as Comicon and the Fireman Olympdicks are in town.
Today it's laundry (very needed) and a short trip to LA via Long Beach. I'm out of here to tour this city, and see the Pacific.
See you all soon. Today officially marks my turn around towards home. There,s much more to see. Stay tuned.

Glad to read you made it across and the trip is going well.
I thought about you the other day when I was watching the national weather knowing it must be hot out there in the desert. It makes me sweat thinking about it.
ON-ON and Happy Trails
Could you have been riding through Death Vally when it hit 119F? Just wondering because that is a trip I have made before and we traveled through there. People turn off their AC's frequently when driving through it for fear of their cars overheating. I envy you by the way. Have fun and keep up the Blog because I am living through you right now.
