Last night we had thunder, lightning & heavy rain. The day before I’d put my washing out to dry, needless to say – pointless!
Janet & John, only having a small camper van had allowed my little tent to squeeze into their RV plot. They kindly gave me coffee while picking my brains about the WWR, kit & navigational. Janet, a cyclist, is planning to retire & was clearly looking for a challenge. I returned to the 1313 bar for breakfast while my kit dried.
Janet rode the 1st few miles with me
On occasions during this trip my Garmin has been useless. Whether it’s the GPS route downloaded or the signal. My homemade maps were essential. We therefore fumbled to the route out of town & on.

Up high on the trail, I came across a family loading up 6 goats for a 3 day hike to a mountain lake. Each goat had a bright red mini saddle. First thought – what a strange place to have a goat ride business!
At Saltese the ride picks up an old rail track at a magnificent viaduct.
I should have explored Saltese. At first it looked to be hamlet of deserted houses. Viewing from the viaduct, there was clearly more – including a motel.
According to my Garmin, the picture is De Borgia’s town centre. Fortunately there’s a a little more – a restaurant two blocks up.
All of today’s ride has been in searing heat.
Again, no WWR riders – maybe tomorrow?

Yes, a very pleasant evening. Sitting outside the bar that Friday night, listening to the music from down the street & your good company. Very memorable.
