The hills are gone. Let the heat begin. I mean, really let the hot heat from a blast furnace begin. We are riding into 110+degrees of the dryest heat I've ever riding in.
Because of the impending heat the fast group left at 7am instead of our normal 8am. We turned up the speed early because it was only 85 degrees at 8am. We were averaging close to 25mph for the first couple hours. We ate a very quick lunch and brought the speed down just a bit all the way to the hotel in Las Animas Colorado. We arrived at the hotel before noon after 87 miles with average speed of 22.4mph. Nice.
We waited by the pool and in our rooms until 4pm before the rest of the group got to the hotel. It was well over 100 degrees from noon on. What an incredible hard day for the other groups.
