Don’t leave
Flagstaff without enough good drinking water to last 275 miles (x1,6=km) to
TS-14 in Cortez, Colorado!
That was the warning bike crews got in the route book
for RAAM. The desert is beautiful, but
thirsty and unforgiving and services are limited. Gunnar battled desert wind and both heat and
cold yesterday as he biked from Congress, AZ to Kayente, AZ. That’s 225 miles.
Our ultra-cycling Viking took off this morning at 5:30
a.m. after 2,5 hours of sleep. The goal
for today is Durango, CO, 180 miles up the road. Day temperatures between 32 to 40 Celsius,
night temperature yesterday night down to 16 degrees C.
Vi känner
att ni är med oss på resan. Hoppas ni
har det varmt och skönt där hemma i Sverige.

Lycka till Tio Gunnar.....Du kommer klara detta! för du är bäst!
