Slacker

I know here it is three months later since my last post.  I hope I am better at this once the ride starts.  So a month ago at Easter time, we decided to go try out our equipment since we have all of it that we will need on the bike ride except the very important headlight.  Planning on ordering it this week.  We drove down to southern Utah and stayed the first night in Hurricane.  The next morning we woke up not very bright or early and started our trek of 40 miles into Arizona and hitting Bingo with final destination into Mesquite.  Well needless to say took us three hours in 80 and above weather to bike a mere 8 miles and ran out of water.  Luckily no cell phone service so had to travel the whole way to Littlefield,  Arizona were Scott picked us up and we drove the rest of the way to Mesquite, NV.  Brandon was beat to say the least because there has never been a time that I can remember him not wanting to gamble.  It did not pay off for me because I was yelling Bingo for Scott.  The next day our ride thru Zion was much better as temperatures had cooled but we never tried our camping gear or our food.  Had a good ride and put some miles on for training and had a good visit with friends.
