Through Phoenix in the Rain

When we decided to come through Phoenix I was fearful that the hottest day would be this one. Boy was I wrong! It was cool and rained hard virtually all day. Came in on very busy highway with commuter traffic but drivers kept their distance better than British drivers. Then went onto a published cycle path that started well but ended with dangerous gravel surface so had to cut off early. By the time we got to our nice new motel it was hot and sunny. Glad we got the main distance done in the cool. A virtually flat 94 miles in 6 hours in the saddle at 15.6 mph average. 475 miles from Oceanside. 

Wickenburg Az was a pioneer town now catering for tourists.
