Today was a day for heavy winds and dessert heat. Every bridge I came to had some quick chill time, using the shade as best I could. riding in these conditions will take some getting used to... will be doing a lot of it in the near future tho. After an initial 75 km ride, a truck stop, not indicated on the map, pops up. Decide to call this one a day, heat and wind causing frustration and pain. Will make up for time with an early start tomorrow... Maybe.
