Snacks, water, favourite books, games, DVDs, bikes… All packed
up and ready to go.
To kick off our Transcontinental adventure, Dave & I
rode our first 5k ride in our “first state”, California.
We headed out on a familiar Californian route; through
mountain passes, past a snowless Mountain High, across the desert of cacti and
Joshua trees. We crossed into Nevada and
the temperatures outside sky rocketed to 111F.
We made a brief stop in a popular Nevada landmark, Las Vegas, to marvel
at the spectacle, before continuing on.
At the edge of Nevada, we stopped again, at a small park. And, with the sun beginning to set and a warm
wind blowing, we rode our bikes into Arizona and back again.
Before we reached our destination for the day, we crossed
one more border, into Utah.
Not bad – Four states in one day!
...only 2,300 miles to go!!
