Day 2: Palm Springs to Blythe, CA
A 6:23am start which gave us a beautiful sunrise ride through lovely Palm Springs. But...4 miles into the ride I had my first flat tire. Could it be my last? The scenery around Mecca, CA was inspiring and we rode up the big climb of the day - Box Canyon -- 10 miles with around 1800 feet elevation gain. We then moved to I-10 because there are no other roads to take. It wan't too bad....very wide shoulder. New personal record today: 1) Most miles ridden in a single day- 134 miles. Only 102 miles tomorrow....so we can sleep in an extra 30 minutes. The ride and the support staff have exceeded my expectations. If interested, the tour leader keeps a blog with pictures...it is at: http://bamacyclist.com/BAMA/Fast_2017/Fast_2017.html

Glad that you've gotten off to a great start. Sorry to hear about the flat. If you're going to get just one then it's best to get it over on the second day. Does the whole group stop while you fix the flat? Amazing to think you're already on the CA/AZ border. How are they feeding you? Did you have enough "fuel in the tank" for the climbs?" Enjoy! Greg
