W on the Mountain

I was not available for Marilyn's call on Saturday night at 9:30 so she left 2 messages on my phone with an update.



Greetings from Winnemucca, NV where there is a W on the mountain similar to the sign in the Hollywood hills. A place where Marilyn has always wanted to visit. She is in the desert and when she started riding on Sat it was 51 degrees and raining and remained this way for about 3/4's of her ride. And if you remember she shredded her jacket in her derailer and she was wearing fake rain pants so she was soaked and miserable. But she is warm now and sounded very happy.



The day before, Friday they rode 91 miles mostly on Route 80 and had 2 flat tires. One was in the AM and the other was just 2 miles from the hotel.



She is eating well and gets up every day around 5:15 and on the road by 6:30. Sun will be a short day around 55 miles because if you look at the America by Bicycle site http://www.americabybicycle.com/CCC/CCCPop.htm you will see that Mon & Tues will be over 100 each day.......So she will be taking lots of Advil.



She says hello to everyone. Some of you have written comments, I read them to her the last time we spoke and she is very touched by your good thoughts & messages. So keep on writing.....
