After Zach hit his head on the nightstand of their hotel room, drawing blood. Once they got it cleaned up it was like a brush burn. Karl decided they would take a break from riding today. They did ride to the bike shop so they could get their bikes checked and their tires trued before their last push to San Diego since they still have to go over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The trip to the bike shop will add 2 1/2 miles to their total miles.

I spoke to Karl again just a few minutes ago. He mentioned another reason they didn't ride today was because it started to get late and with a long ride to the next place they can get lodging he wanted an early start. He also mentioned that they ended up riding another half mile for a total of 3 miles today.

Karl sent me some pictures of their campsite when they spent the night in Hope, Arizona. Along with some pictures from their ride into California.
