"PRAYER IS THE KEY OF THE MORNING AND THE BOLT OF THE EVENING". (Mahatma Gandhi) Today was better. Hot and long, but no cramping. I adjusted how many endurolyte electrolyte gel caps I am taking (fewer) Lon gave me magnesium tablets to take in the morning and all of us riders used "ice socks" today. These are cotton tube socks filled with ice and worn around the back of the neck. The ice lasts 10-15 miles and gets replenished at the next sag stop. Today we had 5 stops. I also drank V-8 and coke at the stops, had canned peaches for lunch. So, no cramps today and one more desert day to go.
Tourism is a major component of the local economy. The town of 19,832 is located half way between Los Angeles, CA and Phoenix, AZ along I-10 and is adjacent to the Colorado River which is the border between CA and AZ. Tomorrow we cross the river and enter our second state, AZ, as we head to Wickenburg. Thanks for all the comments and support. "I'LL LET YOU BE IN MY DREAMS IF I CAN BE IN YOURS" (Bob Dylan)
