You two are going to be experts on riding in wind!!!

Nice photo. Glad to see upbeat smiles.
So it's all downhill the rest of the way?
:^)

I think I might prefer riding across country in one of those golf carts behind you. That would be more my speed.

Those are some tall, scary looking outlaws! Was there a Clint Eastwood looking one there too?

Everything sounds great, except for Ken's cold - that must be miserable. Hope it clears quickly. We LOVED Sagauro Nat'l Park and Tombstone was fun until the OK Corral reenactment terrified the boys (on our 2000 trip). Congrats on making it to the highest point!

Ken fits in quite nicely with these outlaws. They look like some of his buddies from the Alger Tavern.

Congrats on getting over the Divide.

Nothing succeeds like preparation. When people ask us how we prepare for our long trips, we always say "We just ride the bike." No fancy or elaborate training regimens, no special nutritional plans, just go out and ride. Of course, your trip is much more challenging than anything we've tried. You are truly bad ass!
Kerry can relate to the rider with ulcerated saddle sores. That is almost unbearable. I hope he heals and can rejoin you later.
We're glad to hear that Ken is feeling better, too.
Enjoy!

Congratulations on your high achievement!

Francie and Ken I loved catching up on your trip today! It looks amazing (and kinda challenging too). Hope that Ken feels better soon. Look forward to staying updated the next few weeks.

Love that there are the bike trails, they look so smooth!

Crazy! The wind and dust!

To it being the only water source....

wow!

Can not even imagine the wind you all are dealing with out there!

Oh my gosh so weird to see the border wall.
