Today we covered a total of 110 miles from Las Vegas NV to Bullhead City AZ. We had to rack our bikes to get out of Las Vegas, so the total ride came to about 80 miles. It was another hot day, this time temperatures were over 100 degrees for most of the day. The crew made sure we were drinking plenty of water, and there were no medical issues like there were our first day in the desert. Today’s ride actually seemed pretty easy to me. It’s our first day back on the bikes after our layover day in Las Vegas, so we were well rested, and the terrain was not too challenging. We climbed a total of about 1000 feet in the first 30 miles, but the uphill was so gradual that we hardly noticed it. Before we knew it we were on top of a mountain range and were happily coasting down into Bullhead. The climb was made even easier because our pace line was playing ridiculous road trip games the whole time. We played the “I’m Going Camping game” and a “Four is Constant” game that Tyler taught us. I just lost the game. Unfortunately there wasn’t too much to look at today, but I managed to snap a few pictures.
