My first ride along, Hooray!
It may have been about 100 degrees today but I didn’t care because I was surrounded by awesome people! 10 bike lovers came out this morning to ride with me toward Tucson. What a treat! I didn’t have to talk to myself like usual, I had REAL people to converse wtih, hooray!
We did have one little mishap though, my buddy Zack, a childhood family friend, went over the bars and snapped his handlebars in half and got all sorts of fun blood decorations on his forearms. We were coming down a hill and out the corner of my right eye I saw a car flying toward us on an onramp, I freaked, hit the brakes and Zack smashed into me. Total bummer 
Luckily his nice dad drove down and picked him up.
I was on the saddle for 10 hours before I found the best camp site ever at Pichaco State park. They have showers, power and cold water fountains..ahhhh.
I don’t know if it’s gonna cool down tonight, the wind is even hot. I’m sleeping on top of a picnic table, good night! Tucson tomorrow morning!
Huge thanks to everyone who came with me today from T.B.AG., Bike Saviors, Matt and Zack

im deeply sad i missed this.
This one was awesome! It was great to get to ride with you partway to Picacho this morning. I hope you didn't smell any bacon, and am glad to hear you found a nice spot at Picacho. It's a cool spot.
