Live Another Day

Vulture Mine Road - Wickenburg, AZ

The first 44 miles minimal wind. Maximum heat (124F radiant sun, i.e., the handlebars were too hot to touch). 

The last six miles ... monsoon.


In 10 minutes it clouded over, temp dropped 54F, lightning, intense wind, rain felt like gravel.


Simply could not see. Wind swirling, pushing, slapping, shoving.  


Almost in ditch twice.
 
 
Torrential downpour washing desert runoff, sand and debris over road.
 
Exciting.
