Day 2

February 19, 2018

Alpine,Ca to Jacuma,Ca.

No riding today as we choose to make today a forced rest day due to the poor weather.

Woke up to a rainy, very cold, 35 degree day. Winds were being reported as below:

Wind Advisory

12:48 PM PST, 2/18,expires 6:00 PM PST, 2/19

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM PST Monday...

* winds... areas of northwest to west winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 55 mph and isolated gusts to 60 to 70 mph.

* Location... strongest gusts near the mountains... and in the Coachella Valley north and east of Interstate 10.

* Impacts... strong winds will make travel difficult for high- profile vehicles. Blowing dust and sand may reduce visibility to near zero in a few locations.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution."
