Freezer to Furnace on the Road to Brawley. 67.6 miles

Had good early morning start at 6.00am. More organised now. Dismantled tent etc before b'fast to warm me up as it was below freezing brrrr. Straight into the hills again but ' muscles macmillan' was fit for it. Felt good. Passed close to Mexican border, high wall and fence disappearing into distance. Custom patrols everywhere. Next, 10 miles of very steep descent which took us into Yuha Desert. Long flat road for the next 37 miles. No shelter. I began to flag after a while and had to take a break under the only tree in sight. The fact there was a dunghill there didn't matter. Temperature reached 94 deg and we are not even in Gulf.Actually, quite rich farmland in places. Hay bales piled at side of road waiting for transportation. Rich crops growing fed by canal irrigation. Meeting interesting people, 86 year old man originally from Netherlands. He was translater for Hitler and now he and his family own big ranch out here............ Jackson on traffic duty telling us about Mexican infiltration. Staying at compound tonight with swimming pool. Got in just after 3.00pm boiling and jumped straight in pool. Lovely.  Love my tent but hate it in the morning when I have to pack it. Bike and me fine, I can see the heat is going to be a problem, but I am not the only one. Think I will call the bike Spike, long story that involves an iguana. Lisa has knee problems so rode in the van today and tomorrow, hoping it improves. Still loving it....
