It’s getting hot in here!

Yowza!
It is hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement! We rode from Cortez, Colorado to Teec Nos Pos, Arizona today. That means a few things. First of all, it was our first full day in the desert. Second of all, we got to visit the four corners monument and add three new states to our list in one day! And finally, it marks the first day when no one complains about getting up extra early tomorrow - so we can beat the heat.



Four corners!! We’re good at sharing.



Another one.



Proof that the whole group added three new states to their list today.



Just to make it official.



Another formality. Thanks Arizona, for putting so much thought into your state sign.


I also wanted to share an update about our friend Molly P whose accident I wrote about last week. She visited a doctor in Durango for a second opinion and she was told again that it will take a few weeks for the injury to heal, so she is not expecting to get back on the bike this summer. Unless she feels strong enough to ride into San Diego with us – it is our shortest ride of the trip at 30 miles. There is talk of renting a tandem bike for the day so she can finish the ride with us! Please keep her in your prayers if you’re the praying type. The other thing to mention is that although she is unable to do physically strenuous things, she has not lost her dedication to the team and the cause. Her attitude of serving the group and encouraging riders is really helping keep our team united as we continue to stress our bodies each and every day.



Tony and Molly

Thanks SuperMolly for your attitude and presence as we continue this journey across the states!
