Another great day of bicycle riding. Weather was great....sunny and mid 90's Mostly tailwinds. And entered a new state: Arizona! Don't know if it is a trend yet, but I had another flat at 8:30am on I-10 (The picture of the bike along I-10 is actually my bike with a flat back tire...the cause of the flat was a wire from a belted steel radial tire). New personal record today: Most consecutive 100+ mile days - 3! I did 2 consecutive days in training...so this is new ground. Today I rode mostly with Scott, Jake, (both from Vero Beach who I trained with in Florida in early April) and Bart (from Holland). We are all in the "Welcome to Arizona picture along with Linda...the only female in our group of 16) Interesting fact is that at 63, I am the second oldest rider behind Scott (67), and Jake is 3rd (62). Tomorrow is a big climbing day with 8700 feet of climbing. We were advised to bring a jacket tomorrow because it likely will be cool at the top. I'm feeling great....I am not racing like I did in training but riding at a relative low heart rate, which so far appears to be a smart move on my part. Until tomorrow!
