Leaving Bishop CA very early, we were the last leg into Vegas. I must say the drive through Death Valley was a highlight of this trip. Our leg started at the end of Death Valley and the temps were forecast to reach 130F behind us which another team had to ride through! Our ride started great whith our 6 man team but as we turned towards Vegas the wind picked up very harshly making our progress slow and extremely demanding in the desert heat. We decided to split up the ride for safety and the three pro riders did about 40kms of straight highway with our support van stopping evey five miles. I jumped out towards the end with Dave Currie and we blasted into Vegas with average speeds of over 35kms. Our destination tomorrrow with be Grand Canyon.
