Day 4: Welton to Gila Bend, Arizonia

88 miles, 1509 feet climbed

18 or so of our miles were again on I-8, still well-paved and remarkably free of exploded tire tread debris. My “recovery” shake today came mid-ride, at Dateland, a date shake, of course. They have other flavors and I think they said their ice cream is made on site. Worth a stop, feed your monster.

It was another hot day and I drank both of my water bottles between the last water stop and the hotel.
