Welcome to my blog. I plan to do occasional posts before I set off and then every
few days on the trip.
On May 12th 2012 I will be dipping the rear wheel of my bike
into the Pacific Ocean
in Los Angeles and heading for the Atlantic in Boston.
I am funding the trip myself, however I am seeking sponsorship for The Multiple Sclerosis
Society. Please consider supporting my sponsorship by clicking on the "Sponsor me " link.
Note all of your donation will be going to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

I am looking forward to this great challenge and hope you find my blog of interest.
Please enter your email details on the right to receive updates. Thanks

Day 10 miles and miles keep rolling by

Today has been also about just simply riding 88 miles, simple directions pretty much turn right out of the hotel and ride to the next hotel

Firstly a picture from yesterday of Winslow and the famous corner.





As we were about to set off I had a flat tyre and a broken front spoke so some quick repairs were required. I did not puncture during the day however the group had around 20 punctures.


The temperature was around 100F. Somehow I seem to be getting used to it.
Rode most of the day in a three man pace line which worked well.

There was major road construction which held us up or around 45 minutes.

We crossed the state line into New Mexico




-
Most of the stores are run by najavo Indians and sell craft items.









We also crossed a time zone so we are 7 hours different from UK rather than 8. This will make it easier to phone home at a sensible time.

The countryside again has been fairly flat although we have climbed over 3000 feet during the day.

There are a few very tired looking riders so most are in bed by 8pm.

There is a great team spirit with everyone helping each other out.

Onwards tomorrow to the continental divide.
