Las Vegas to Phoenix -- I made it through the desert

I made it! It was quite a challenge. You can find my full ride report (with photos) here. Quick summary:

Day 1, Henderson to Laughlin: I made to mile 48 when the heat kicked my butt (110 degrees in Laughlin that day!)

Day 2, Kingman to Ash Fork: we got pulled over by the highway patrol, and had great fun on Route 66

Day 3, Ash Fork to Prescott: made it safely through the "most dangerous highway in Arizona"

Day 4, Prescott to Lake Pleasant: my first century!!

Day 5, Phoenix: a warm welcome by our colleagues.

All in all I had a blast.

Speeding?

Yeah, speeding is the story our team captain is sticking with... ;)

Thanks for sharing the link.
I love the bike exchange pic.:D

Congratulations on your ride.

That's terrific! I would never have made it out of Las Vegas, between the heat and the call of Bloody Mary's.......:rolleyes:

Congratulations on a job well done!

Wow, BikeDutchess. What a ride:o :cool: :rolleyes: :p ;) :D
You encountered it all. Having the pleasaure to ride with you on your first ride of the year, to a ride I did with you a in August, I witnessed your improvement. You say you were the 'weakest link' from your story, but I can say, you rode 'smart' and there is nothing 'weak' about that. YOU ARE AWESOME and your accomplishment is AWESOME.

Loved reading your story! Good job! Great pictures. (I also liked the "bike exchange" pic)

Way to go!! I remember reading the post regarding a route. I live in the Phx valley and for work sometimes must drive to Las Vegas. I thought man I would hate to ride those roads on my bike. Loved the pictures. If you did this tour in October, the weather would be perfect............no a$$ kickin heat! :)
