Yuma, Arizona to Calexico, California

Finally in California! In CA you can’t ride the freeway if there is a frontage road. The frontage road was the worst road I have ridden on the trip. It probably hasn’t been paved in 20 years. The weather started out ok but about 2:30PM a huge thunder storm rolled in and it started to rain, not just a little rain but in was cats and dogs.

Each and every one of you who visits this blog makes an extraordinary difference to me as I undertake this ride. I could not do it without your support – in fact, if it was all about me, I would have quit a long time ago.

Now, I really need your help. To attract corporate sponsors and corporate donations, I need to show how much attention this blog and ride are attracting. PLEASE forward this link to EVERYONE on your contact list and request that they visit the blog. Please support me in having 10,000 people visit this site by December.

Keep visiting the blog regularly there are going to be several changes and additions to the blog that I think everybody will enjoy.

Thank you so much for whatever help you can provide.
