Days 4/5

Another great experience! We rode 7 miles thru the Imperial Sand Dunes rec area with a 30 mph crosswind, sand stinging our arms and legs and getting into our eyes and mouths.  But it was great! I would have loved to stop and explore but it didn't seem like a good idea with the wind.

I rode 83 miles which isa new one-day record for me but i'm not sure it should count since we had strong tailwind and flat terrain most of  the way.

we spent today in Blythe, CA, resting and cleaning the sand off every part of our bikes. Visited  the historical museum here in Blythe asnd learned a bit about the agricultural history of area. They have been raising large amounts of cotton here since the early 1900s.

Tomorrow we cross the Colorado river into Arizona.
