I spoke to Karl around 4:10pm our time and they had stopped for lunch in Quartsite, Arizona after riding 32 miles from Hope, Arizona.  He told me they still have about 22 miles and I will update this when I hear from him again.

Below is the map for their ride till they stopped for lunch.

It's 7:46pm and Karl just called to say they made it to their destination of Blythe, California. They ended up with 55 miles for the day and a total of 3164 for the trip so far. They crossed the Colorado River today. Karl said they took some pictures and I will add them when he sends them to me.

They were hoping to find an  open bike shop when they reached Blythe to do some adjustments to their wheels but the shop was closed. They will be on the lookout for one tomorrow that is open. They want them adjusted before they go over the last of the mountains.

Karl told me he asked the desk clerk at their hotel the high for today and was told 105 degrees. He said that it didn't feel that hot when they were riding, I guess the breeze they get while riding helps and most likely the humidity isn't as bad where there are.

Below is the map for the entire ride today.
