Day 3 - Quartzsite Arizona to Prescott Arizona

For some reason my phone battery died early in the day so I don't have very many pictures but I posted what I have.

The ride was 140 miles through desert and then climbing mountains to Prescott. It was still very hot but not as bad as yesterday. Once we climbed the mountains the temperature dropped in to the 80's which was a relief.

Many of the riders struggled today and some had to be sagged in. The combination of distance, heat and mountains made conditions very difficult.

Tomorrow is supposed to be even more difficult so I didn't want to push too hard today but I did anyway just to finish. Hopefully 12 hours will be enough time to recover. It's a 154 mile day to Winslow.
