We headed early for another hot day from Ludlow to Needles. Not much climbing but 108 miles in 100 degrees, with the day starting at 80+ is not something one can take lightly. I had a plan to stay hydrated and fueled. One bottle of water and 1 bottle of energy drink (with 3 Electrolyte pills in them) every 20 miles. Additionally I planned to “tank” up at every rest stop. Here is what I ended up with: 4 bottles of water, 4 bottles of electrolyte drinks, 2 cans of V8, 2 Soda cans, 1 Bottle of Gatorade
Gel, Pringles chips, lots of Twizlers and a sandwich for lunch.
Today was about survival and I rode pretty smoothly through the heat and actually enjoyed the view of the Mojave National Preserve that we rode south of. There were also some interesting wildflowers. The only town to speak of was Amboy.
