Tuesday Evening 12 September
Day 3
Because today was one of my ride days, Susan said I could borrow her bike until I got mine fixed. I was just about ready to get it set up when she co-opted me to slice cantaloupe. By the time I was finished getting fruit ready, it was too late to start riding. No problem. I wasn’t all that thrilled on riding someone else’s bike, any bike for that matter, 103 flat miles through a desert oven.
It turned out Martha and I were needed for other duties anyway – shuttling back and forth between rest stops getting ice to suffering riders. Normally, Pactour sets up rest stops every 25 – 30 miles. Today it was every 10 – 15 miles. I saw several riders near the front of the group – Spokane Bob, Winchester John, SD Charlie were riding strong at the front.
