Plan:
Phoenix to Kingman, to Ontario OR, to Kalispell MT, to the Canadian border, to Alpine WY, to Denver, and then home.
Reason:
I want to color in ID, OR, WA on my "states ridden in" map, and to attend the Iron Butt Association International Meet in Denver for four days.
Reality:
We left Chandler at 3:15 this afternoon. The temp inside the garage was 109; the temp on the way to I-10 was 111, the temps riding into Phoenix went from 113 to 115 to a high of 117. We did not see any temps below 105 until after 7 pm when we were east of Kingman with a rain shower behind us. We finally saw a low of 91 when we checked into the hotel.
Observation:
105 is downright comfortable when you're dressed appropriately (LD Comfort) and well hydrated. I should say... downright comfortable compared to the 117 temps. Now THAT was hot. I'm glad I soaked my gear before I left the house, but I still emptied the better part of my 32 oz Butler Cup in under an hour.
It's now pushing 9 pm and the goal is to wake at 0330, pack, and be on the road before 5 am. Breakfast in North Las Vegas, lunch somewhere, and dinner in Ontario OR sometime tomorrow evening.
To be continued...
