I’ve never experienced this much non-rain tent drenching on any other trip. Maybe that is just part of the desert. Maybe
Daily Miles: 53 Total Miles: 2876 Avg: 11.3 Max: 20.3 Time on the bike: 04:40:05 I woke up to a dark sky and rain that looked like something out of a movie where there is an outside burial, and everyone is standing out there in rain coats and umbrellas, sobbing and crying and getting all
