Due to my pretty extensive sunburn I opted to wear my arm warmers all day and took Bryce's leg warmers after about an hour of riding to protect my poor legs. We rode together at a nice comfortable pace taking in the view as we went.
We also found a nice little place for people to stay next year
3 miles outside Dateland I rode over a nail that took out my poor tire:( It was VERY hot and I was on a busy road, so I opted to call the van to rescue me. We pulled into the all in one Dateland shop including Quizno's, gas station and ice cream. I actually tasted one of the famous date shapes and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
We'll be spending the night in the elementary school gym which happens to be on the same property as the sheriff's office and possibly the home of the town fire truck. After a nice home cooked meal and some free internet I'm ready to crash!
Maggieee Mooo - it sounds (and looks) like you're having a great time - I love the pictures! What an adventure :)
