Day 1 is complete! This post is coming to you from Susie, Randy's wife. Randy was a little tired last night and asked that I let folks know he finished Day 1 successfully. It was hilly and hot and, minus some legs cramps from dehydration at around mile 110, it was a good day. The temps in the desert reached 100 degrees in the shade. He likened one of the descents into the valley to opening the door to a hot oven. Just a blast of heat. Yowch! On to Day 2. He was up this morning at 2:30 to start the ride at 3:00. They hope the early start will spare them some heat. It's a long day today -- 220 miles -- and I expect him to roll into Wickenburg, Ariz around 9:00. Stay tuned!

Great job, Randy! Keep up the good work and plenty of hydration across the dry, southern states. Everything in balance (including those electrolytes), as Joseph Pilates would say. Speaking of balance, I'm sure the biking is much more fun than extended side planks :-).
Hang in there, and thanks for the update, Susie!
