Major Change
Today it hit 113 degrees. It is expected to get hotter for next several day, up to 120 degrees. Residents are advised to stay indoors.. As a result, the ride has been "suspended." We will bypass Phoenix. Tomorrow we will be driven from here to Payson, our Monday night stop. This is where the ride will restart. A lot of logistical arrangements have been made and are being made to make this significant change. A change that is disappointing, but necessary. While some riders would have been able to do it, it would be risky to send out riders in those conditions. Safety needs to be the first concern. Please pray for the organizers as they had to make this decision and as they seek to implement it. Library is closing, but I wanted to write this important update.

We are really enjoying your updates and pictures....they both bring back memories.... although not that severe of heat issues. We are sure that it was a difficult decision to bypass Phoenix, and a hard pill for the bikers to swallow..but the body can only take so much.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the continued updates and pics, and biking too :-)
Where do I find the pictures?
