Temperature range from 45 to high 70's
Today the riding was mostly through desert flats with a 1-2 % uphill grade and an occasional steeper uphill or downhill section. The road surface was an annoying chip seal that, we’re told, is also prevalent in Texas. There was also a moderate headwind most of the day. I rode with two other women all day and we labeled ourselves the “riding wounded” due to our various physical ailments. The last five miles into Wickenberg was a medium downhill, always welcome at the end of the day.
The highlight of the day came just four miles into the ride this morning when we visited Ingredients, a coffeehouse that you would never dream you would find in such an isolated spot. I am not a coffee drinker but I couldn’t resist the mocha coffee. The mom and daughter team have been looking forward to our passage for some time. It has been a favorite stop for WomanTours riders in past years as well.
