HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 5 - Calexico to Yuma (60.3 miles)

Today started out cool and ended warm. Started with breakfast at the Calexico Mission School prepared by 5 sophomore students, rode through farmland and desert. Saw the Imperial Sand Dunes, California’s largest before making our way to Felicity, CA and the self proclaimed Center of the World. From there, we crossed the Colorado River to arrive in Yuma and our Days Inn Hotel in Yuma.
